1997 Rav4 Opinions?

My wife has been looking at a 1997 Rav4 4x4 4cylinder with ~120K Km on
it. Just wondering:
1.) in general how are these cars?
2.) reliability, initial quality, expectations of durability
3.) projections for maintenance (the current owner has done the clutch,
brakes and a few other things.)
4.) comments
5.)how many km are the 4cyls good for?
6.) there is no number 6

I currently have a Tundra 4x4 TRD D/C.

Thanks

Assuming adequate maintenance, it should be good to go another 120k minimum.

Thanks for the info...
How are these cars otherwise? were they good reliable vehicles or were
they higher than average repairs and maintenance?

I have read a mixed bag of reviews re. these from crash safety concerns
to chronic brake problems.
