wow

yeah i have been eyeing them a little. I cant quite figure out the bodystyles / years yet... some look badass with the scoop and whatnot and some just look pretty lame... also you probably have to pay a mint for the v8 like in the H3's

I see that there may be a couple in Cincy. Damn. Tough decision to haul all the way there just to look... Wonder if it is worth anything to call em up and try and throw numbers on the phone? Seems strange, but if there is a chance they could get me down there a lot more willingly lol

I think that one is 25K and some change... they'd need to come down a lot. Also kind of want an auto for this rig. If you see anymore give me a shout. You can definitely keep the whole referral as it would be well earned for keeping me in the loop! and to anyone else who logs this in the back of their minds... Looking for Silver, beige, or white. No blue or yellow

I do like the Wranglers they just feel a lot cheaper and I cannot help but feel the Chrysler-ness.... I dont feel the reliability is up to par, but I could be mistaken *shrug*

thanks for the insight. It was just barely tough for me to get in the back. Not to hard actually putting things in there, but you get sort of trapped between the 2 doors in tight parking spots so I've heard. Slightly convenient that i'm a twig and so is my fiancee lol I guess it just seems like a huge jump from a slammed Mini Cooper

Yeah I figure some of those little convex mirrors would help tremendously. The back-up beeper thing (most have) also seems to help with reverse situations

lol yup. they just made the car pursued into a police car lol

Im so over this shit. Hopefully that just means an impressive drought later this year for my outdoor wedding

^^^ so that's what's keeping the resale up lol. those bastards keep Baja'ing them.

Yeah I drove the 4WD at Carmax yesterday (the cheap one is 2WD). I hate their "this is THE price" BS. That mentality will also hurt me on the value of my car.

Well that's good to hear. (from my research) the 06's (or 07's made then) tend to have the most issues. Good to hear otherwise

Wanted to sound out here and see if there is any good advice to gain, as I have only purchased one new car (first 2 mustangs were only like $6K) Been really looking into FJ's to have something that it more practical for moving down to SC, getting married (family), and overall getting out of driving around in the go-kart, though I know it might only be barely more practical (good enough) lol Stuff to consider: -I don't care if you think its ugly :lolguy: -I know it gets horrible gas mileage -I don't care if there is only a 20% chance of it ever actually seeing major offroad. -I would make more with a private sale... Hoping to trade in. Cars are not investments lol I've driven 3 of them so far. All have been '07s. I've looked into the usual problems which don't seem to be that bad. Was wondering if anyone might have any first hand experience with them? It seems pretty tough to find a lot around here without a ton of mileage. Theoretically at the prices they are going for I really want to be at a max of $20K before all the taxes ect.. I really cannot find any other SUV that I like more.. 2WDs are cheaper, but thats like buying a Porsche automatic. Ill probably regret it later anyway if I dont do 4WD. Whoknows what kind of people i'll meet in SC... id like to keep up haha. Back in 07 the MSRP was somewhere just over 24K and now they are in the 30's. Don't know if its our lovely shit-for-value dollar, or what... an 07 with 14K miles locally is like 26,800. At very best I can seem to get 18K for mine on trade... I just don't really want the hassle of listing it myself and dealing with everyone only to get 21-22. Maybe I should keep on shopping until the gas prices actually affect the market?.. seemed like good timing. TIA for any insight, and if you know of any available i'm all ears. Cliffs: FJ Cruiser :fuckyeah:

x2. Did an absolute outstanding job on my door ding I got a while back.

full story is up on Jalopnik http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2011/05/floating_porsche_02.jpg http://jalopnik.com/5799388/how-i-saved-my-porsche-from-a-flood-by-floating-it

that is true. its also possible to be right on water with no flood height at all.

Is everyone kidding? I can't tell lol You cannot have living space under the flood plain. When you are that close to the water you can bet that you'll be up pretty high. Example. We recently had a apartment / garage renovation in the middle of Lancaster and couldn't rebuild the bottom apartment due to it being in the flood plain... It is now just a garage. There was no water around it at all.
