Great deal, Tron. 110,000 miles on a Toyota is a drop in the bucket. It's still got many good years left in it.

Toyota engines from 96-02 had some "sludge" issues that wrecked engines.
Toyota eventually agreed to pay for new engines and fixed the problem.
But, generally, Toyota engines are long lived. My 2004 RAV has the 2.4 that's the mainstay of the line. These engines are 250,000 mile engines as long as you do the basics maintenance.
Might be worthwhile to have it thoroughly checked out. And do a double oil and filter change. To clean out any possible "sludge". Put in all synthetic the second change.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular][SIZE=-1]"This page and section started off somewhere in Jan. 01 when I was seeing and getting an increasing number of engines that had severe sludge build up internally. At that time all the blame was being placed on the owner with the reasoning that they were not taking care of the engine as Toyota suggested. I felt that with the shear number of vehicles affected that something else was at the root cause. In February 02 Toyota finally acknowledged the condition, without taking real blame for any engineering problems, and started to correct the affected engines. They had some conditions that had to be met but their Special Policy Adjustment was a good start. Now this week, April 3, 02, they finally showed their true corporate stance on the unfortunate problem. They have broadened the scope of the coverage, within the years and models affected, and they are due a well earned thumbs up for this effort to stand behind what I still believe is the best product on the market."[/SIZE][/FONT]
