Probably should close the thread.
I went ahead and bought a new 2013. I could not find a used one for a reasonable price. Dealer had what I wanted in stock. I went through Costco auto purchase and got one heck of a good deal. Only a couple thou more than a low milage used one. Actually cheaper than a couple I saw on Craigs list.
I am looking at buying a used FJ and have read a lot about the fender bulge/crack/rip issue. I noticed that the postings seem to stop in 2009. I understand that there was a good fix even before they changed to the 150 frame in 2010. I have searched but could not find when that change took effect. Does anyone know which VIN numbers were free of the problem.
Thanks
