Toyota Trucks: Question on engine break-in..or not

Question on engine break-in..or not
I was looking at a 2004 4Runner today with the Nav unit for a very good
price. However, it has about 100 miles on it. I test drove it and put
about 5 of those miles on it. My only concern is that most of those
miles are from being driven as a test drive. When I test drive a
vehicle I am not worried about proper break-in and I'm sure most others
aren't either. Should I worry about damage that could be done to an
engine in 100 miles? I plan on getting a bumper to bumper 7yr/100K
warranty on any vehicle I buy.
(I now have a three year old Acura TL with an engine being replaced at
the dealers so I don't need any "extended warranties are not needed"
notes :-) Fortunately I had an extended power train warranty or I'd be
out a few grand - and the car was well cared for!)
Thanks for any quick advice.

I wouldn't sweat the 100 miles --- hours of drivving at a steady speed is
more harmful than short 5 mile test drives. Remember that the extended
warranty is a big money maker for the dealer and the price is negotiable.

google will find you dealers that offer the genuine Toyota Warranty on
substantial discount.
