Looking to trade my 71 FJ40 for a family car/wagon/suv

THIS THREAD IS POSTPONED UNTIL I FIX THE FJ40. I BLEW A ROD WHILE DOING 80 ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY. BETTER NOW THAN AFTER A TRADE...













bbalbano/71FJ40 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


My build thread is in my signature line.

There are a few loose ends that I will be finishing this week, wipers, marker lights a a few odds and ends, it will be complete before the trade.

Here are some links to some photos of my build. Ive spent over a year restoring my 71 fj40. Dont really want to do this, but my wife's transmission is starting to go, and once it does we will be without a car. Please dont try to trade me your beater.

I need a reliable car for the family so let me know what you have.

Thanks
Brian

How's a black 2000 BMW 328i work for you? tan leather interior, new tires, kept up well and synthetic oil every 5K miles. power everything. harmon kardon sound, upgraded BMW rims, sun/moon roof. KBB on a good condition one is $8900. I think mine's a bit better than good. Has one tiny dent next to the front grill that you'd never notice if I didn't point it out. Paint has the usual minor rock chips on the front as expected. Just had it detailed and it looked like new.

Is there a hard top for it?? Soft top might be tough in a new england winter

1st off Im sorry I never got back to you on the disk brake stuff, between the 3 moves in the last 6 months Ive misplaced my list of parts.

I just want something that my wife will be able to drive the kids around to school in. Fuel efficient would be nice but not a requirement. Volvo, 4runner, whatever really just needs to be reliable easy on my wifes eyes...
