This feature was Toyota FJ-heavy for a bit, but we haven't had one for a while. So today we're featuring a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD.


The seller has a new Bronco on the way, so he or she is unloading this FJ for $34,999. This San Diego-based ride has a supercharged 4.0-liter engine with 133,000 miles on it, CARB-legal JBA headers, a stainless-steel cat-back exhaust system, a TRD front-brake kit, a TRD cold-air intake, OEM rear locker, and new coils and plugs.

Both front and rear suspensions are heavily upgraded, and there is a lot of off-road gear, including a winch, extra lights, and a roof rack.

The seller has also put a lot of time and money into the audio system. Since this isn't an ad, I won't list it all here. You can click through. All told the seller claims there is $40K worth of upgrades.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Observation A: Very nice condition for a 15+ year old vehicle.

    Observation B: Let's not think about the owner's cost per mile.

    Looks like a street queen. Black would show off-road battle scars rather easily.

  • VoGhost OK. But if Subaru really wants this to sell, they'd make it as a PHEV with enough American content to get buyers $7,500 back on their federal taxes. Otherwise, this really doesn't stand out in a world of RAV4s and CR-Vs.
  • VoGhost Tesla has an average of 28 days of inventory, less than half industry average.
  • FreedMike Ah, Chesterfield Mall...my old teenage stomping grounds. Bummer what happened to it, that's for sure. But that's what happens when the city council approves not one, but two "premium" outlet malls right down the road to be built. That killed this mall dead.And in case anyone's interested...yes, Teslas and other EVs are very popular in that neighborhood.
  • MaintenanceCosts Subarus can be durable, but they are going to demand more frequent and expensive regular maintenance than your typical Honda or Toyota. I suspect for a lot of third and fourth owners that means the economic equation favors scrapping them a bit earlier.
  • Bd2 Hyundai and Kia have zero problem selling their respective Ioniq and EV models at or above MSRP. EV9 is the top seller in it's segment.
