Never owned one before, and actually never seen one in person, but my local dealer has one for sale, and I really want it.
I live in Ontario Canada, and there’s a 2007 FJ 4WD auto for $16,500 + tax. It has 208,000KM
I don’t know much about the dealer, but they have 150+ 5 star reviews on Google, I see they’ve sold a few FJs before, and it’s sold certified. They also seem to be a small business. I actually pulled up at 10pm to look at it, and they were inside their shop working on a car. Owner came out and happily answered my questions, and said I can take it for a test drive tomorrow during open business hours.
The body seems to be in pretty good shape. Few dings, and a lot of swirls from people who don’t know how to wash a car, but overall no rust visible on top.
I took a couple pics of the underside, but it was 10pm so they weren’t great.
Now surface rust is pretty damn normal down here, but it’s hard to tell with this black shit they coated everything with. For reference, my 2005 silverado rusted out completely a couple years ago. Running boards, fenders, everything just fell off from the rust. So overall this thing looks pretty clean.
$16,500 CAD is a lot of money, but it seems like these things just keep going up. Not to mention other FJs in worse shape seem to be around the same price.
What do you guys think? Any advice? Thanks!
That is the stock location for the am/fm radio antenna, I don’t know why thr antenna is diagonal out like that though. Looks aftermarket, maybe it is an adjustable mount.
