Honestly 40k is ridiculous but the car market is ridiculous. I think I’d rather have this at 40k with 40k miles then say a for ranger new at 44k or a new 4Runner at 70k. At 30k it would be a good value again for todays ridiculous market
I had an FJ.. bought it new in 2006 Silver Metallic 6speed... Gave the alloy wheels to a friend and put the Toyota steelies on it. My wife hated the steel wheels. I ended up trading it in for a 5speed Corolla 2 years later. Gas prices got too high. I really miss it.
I bought my FJ used for 19k. Two weeks later Toyota announced ending production. Brought mine in for its first oil change and the dealer offered me 26k to trade it in. The price is warranted because it's called supply and demand. If someone is willing to pay 40k to get one....then market will bear it. I have had mine for 8 years, put miles on it..and can still sell outright for the 26k the dealer offered me...Hell I could probably push it 30k.
Considering you cant buy a new one anymore, the price reflects the current market. A 2011 Maroon one sold at my local dealership a few months ago for $38k list.
I had a 2012 - stock. I owned it for almost a year before I got t boned in an intersection.... To my surprise it had appreciated over $9000. Never had a car do that before. Needless to say I wasted no time in buying another one.
Mine is in the same condition same color but is custom-built. Is got all the bells and whistles. I am the second owner and I got mine for 10 grand. I like my Fj. Since I took possession of it I have done some custom mods (by users truly). Nothing major. Let's just say mine is unique looking. Still working on modifying it. Headlights are next. Thinking is replacing them with a set of Baja Designs LP9s. High-low beam combo.
$40k doesnt really sound too bad for a Toyota 4x4 considering that the other FJ Cruiser was on sale for over $80k before. Yes i know its a lot of money for an old Toyota product, but at least its worth every penny! You buy it for its simplicity, off road capabilities, durability and legendary japenese reliability and quality reputation.
I bought a Sequoia for not much less. Than again the Sequoia is a newer and bigger and far more luxurious toyota truck. Bottomline they don't give away Toyota trucks.
The price is realistic considering the FJ Cruiser Market and demand for low mileage FJ Cruisers, the market will bear that cost and demand more, thank Joe Biden and his pay everybody money driven inflation.
So what do you think the appropriate price should be? Remember, with each passing year, there are less and less of these fj cruisers on the road while the demand is still relatively high
Mid to high 20s tops. I’ve owned a few Trail Teams recently. This was just grossly overpriced. My 2014 FJ Trail Teams Ultimate Edition with similar miles wouldn’t even fetch this number. I tried for months.
@UntamedMotors Ok. I'll have a look. I wouldn't pay that for one. I picked one up a few months ago with 95k miles for $19,750. It's from out of the rust belt and seems well cared for. $20k and 99k miles were the limits I set for myself.
Well, in late-2008, most Toyotas could be had for a few thousand below invoice. Recession and bad press about sudden acceleration of Toyotas. My brother-in-law bought a brand new Camry for $13k.
Why are you acting like this is high? Thats how much an FJ costs with 44k miles. Do your research before posting these. I see 07-08 FJs with 200k going for $30k all day long
This was wildly overpriced. They dropped it 3 separate times before it sold. I owned a low mile 2014 Trail Teams Ultimate Edition. Could hardly get mid 30s.
That's a common price. What's the problem? We paid that much for ours. It's a '11 and she had 30K on the odo. We got her in Dec '22. You really don't know the market, do ya'? 🤦🏽♂️
I’ve owned 5 FJ Cruiser Trail Teams and just recently had a 2014 FT Cruiser TTUE with 49K miles. Feel free to checkout my recent videos of it. I know the market extremely well. This one here was wildly overpriced, sorry to say. Update for this one too if they price dropped it 4 times since this video… then finally sold it. 😉
I just got a 2007 with under 200k miles for 9 grand! The inside is perfect and There is very little mechanically I have to do it. I was very patient. I've been looking since last November for the perfect one
I have a 22’ 5th gen 4runner SR5P bone stock and it’s capable enough. I remember driving the fj years ago and it felt like a gimmick to me. I guess it’s more for folks that are more into intense crawling? The visibility is garbage. They do look cool and I think that’s the only appeal. For that price, I’d rather own a Land Cruiser or hell even a v8 sequoia
@@jackhaugh Lexus GX produces 310HP with V8, all time 4 wheels drive, KDSS, dif lock. FJ produces 260HP with V6, 4 wheels drive but no KDSS. Which one do you pick?
Expect to replace the windshield every 2 months. Also, the Gas mileage on the FJ is horrible. The vehicle's poor aerodynamic results to poor gas mileage and broken windshield
Had mine for six years(2014) never had a broken windshield yet. I get 18 mpg mixed driving ; which is fine for me. PS: I live in Indiana and it was previously in New Hampshire and is pretty rust free. Guess I’m just lucky😊
Maybe you should buy yourself a time machine, go back to 2008, buy that FJ brand new for the 30k(ish) they were going for back then and you’ll be happy. While you’re at it, go further back and buy a 1970 Chevelle brand new off the lot since prices for those are unreasonable as well.
Toyota needs to make these again. They are great.
They still make them overseas brand new. If I recall correctly toyota still makes it new for the Philippines.
@IzaguirreC I read they quit building them in October of 2022 and sold as '23 models in middle east.
Nah nah they just need to start shipping what Australia have over here the 60 and 70 seris retro modern
I believe they make them for the Philippines and for Saudi.
Someone will buy it! Lol 29k off the show room floor
Only Toyota makes more money with more miles on it than a price of a new one
Isn’t that wild? Lol
My 2008 FJ still running great at 300,000+ KM awesome SUV.
i have a 2011 and would i sell it???........not even for double what i originally paid for it.
@@ismaelbrosas2621 that's awesome! If u take care of it it will last ☺️
I bought a blue 08’ 4x4 FJ in 2018 with 110k miles for $9.5k cash.

Buy it! Worth every penny in my humble opinion. Best, most awesome vehicle I’ve ever owned. Never getting rid of mine.
That price is right. I bought mine for $45000. And I use this Trojan horse here in Africa daily and am contemplating on buying another one!!!!😅❤❤❤
Best car I've ever had. Worth it!
It is such a bulletproof platform! 👌
I just bought an 08 with 200,000 miles for $11,000🤣
Prolly dirty & rusted to shit, bald tires and needs the diffs rebuilt
Dealers are a scam. They give you next to nothing for your trade in and sell your car or truck for $5k-$7k over.
It's called BUSINESS!
Are they supposed to give you what it's worth and not make money from it? Lol
Yup just bought an 07 with 180000 miles on it and paid way too much. Love it though!

My guess is they’re still popular and Toyota ending production makes the existing supply more valuable
That's the same fj I got in 08....mine was a 6 speed manual. Guess I should have kept it!
Paid $17 for a black 4x4 with 30k🤟 not a spec of rust either
I have a 2008 FJ in sandstorm, but I have 185,000 miles. 44K is insanely low, but $40K is insanely high.
I believe it's great value and they will keep climbing in value. One of a kind
Shame on these dealerships!!!!
I think 40,000 is a little much. I would say 30 is more acceptable given that FJs hold there value and run forever.
I think the fact that it’s stock is a huge part of why the price is so high.
Update this one had four sizable price drops before it sold.
@UntamedMotors what did it sell for???
@@markwells8631 unsure $27,900 was the last advertised price
I wish I had mine- I had an 07…loved it!
Nice. When did you sell it?
Sold a 1 owner FJ trail teams edition in cement grey a 2013 it only had 70k miles, made like 10k on it 😂 - Toyota just made them at the wrong time
I sold my 07 a while back and missed it terribly. Now I have a manual 09 in sandstorm.
@@p-mac5969A manual FJ? Very cool. Loved my 09 automatic but it was thirsty as hell ⛽️ ⛽️ ⛽️

I have had my 2010 Fj for 2 years now. Best 23k I spent. Had 90k miles on it.
Since I have mine already... I am gonna say that's awesome! 😊👍
I would buy it in a heart beat. But I just bought a 23 4runner orp and is awesome.
Sold mine because of terrible blind spots. All for bringing them back but C pillars need to be redesigned
44000 is barely broken in for that machine
In a heartbeat
Geez, mines 07 4x4 auto with high miles and multi prv owners. KBB is pricing it at $6k lol. Bought it for $12k. Runs smooth.
Oh what a feeling
It’s worth what someone is willing to pay.. plan and simple
It will look great sitting on the lot for all those years!
I have that exact vehicle. Bought it new for $30k
Haha nice! Only a Toyota 👌
I love my 2007 Fj
Watch the video of the assembly line @ Hino FJ cruiser! These things are built like tanks.
Must not want to move it out from that particular stealership
Haha they didn’t for a couple months. Dropped the price 3 times before selling it.
I have the same one, same miles. Time to sell
I have a 2014 trail teams ultimate edition with 49K miles and can’t find a buyer near this price. It’s just a wishful dealer.
Worth every penny
Not 40 grand
With only 44.000miles it’s practically brand new, so you are paying 40k for a car that it’s going to last your hole life.
They messed up when they rounded that vehicle. It was meant to be a square body.
I bought a Sequoia for not much less. Than again the Sequoia is a newer and bigger and far more luxurious toyota truck. Bottomline they don't give away Toyota trucks.
I saw a bunch with 150k miles going for 40 so that’s not bad
2007/2008 are the worst years
My 08 FJ in sandstorm with the conveinence package was 28K. it had 265,000 miles on it when totaled.
honestly can't tell if it was made 08 or 23.
Virtually no difference over its run. 🤷♂️

Soo sweet! 😮
FJ prices in usa is insane i remember watched a video in TH-cam for someone sold his 2014 fj cruiser with zero or like a zero ODO for 80000$
I’m seeing these prices all over auto sales websites…these dealers are freakin nuts! Obviously people are paying these prices tho
Got to be a typo! Bout spit out my water when you said....40k?!!!!!!! They're Trippin
The FJ is a popular bait car for dealerships to get people in and then switch them on to a new vehicle
@@ThePrairieChronicles they put up used ones , in good condition as the bait car 🤷🏻♂️
And btw , the 2024 Land Cruiser, is the new FJ.
Even if that was a BJ cruiser it still wouldn't be worth more than 16k...
It’s going to run foreverrrrrrrrrr
Mine is a 2008 with 340K miles and runs like a sewing machine
44k miles,...sounds like they want 1k per mile
So what do you think the appropriate price should be? Remember, with each passing year, there are less and less of these fj cruisers on the road while the demand is still relatively high
Mid to high 20s tops. I’ve owned a few Trail Teams recently. This was just grossly overpriced. My 2014 FJ Trail Teams Ultimate Edition with similar miles wouldn’t even fetch this number. I tried for months.
To much I would put the difference and buy a new or newer 4Runner. $40,000 for a
15 year old car with 15 year old problems no way.
Drop a Chevy 350 in that thing
I have a 2007 white it’s a great suv they keep their value plus they stop making them 2014
They still make them just don’t import them anymore. But I would say walk on at this price 😂
They're done now. End of '22. The last ones sold in Saudi as '23 models
$40k and 14 mpg 😮
do they have back seats?
That is funny.
A new 2024 Land Cruiser 1958 MSRP is only ~$15K more...
