    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.
