So... I had an FJ80 for a long while.. Most favorite vehicle I had. However, gas was very expensive, and I was driving 4000 miles a month, I had to get a car. I bought a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe, 6 speed. It's really fun :)

BUT, The seats are TERRIBLE. They have caused such severe back pain that I've been to the chiropracter multiple times. I need out.. I miss my Toyota.... I found a really nice one around here... They are not very easy to find. I found an 07 with 46k miles on it. Procomp tires, and larger wheels.. Looks like it may be lifted a bit.. At a toyota dealer.. Problem is they want almost 26 grand for it.. I went in there with an NADA print out stating it's only worth max of 22 grand, and they said no.. They are "rare" and they'll get what they want for it wether I want to pay it or not.. :crybaby:

What's the deal? I called the sales manager and told him that he basically shoved me back out the door.. Even though I drove down to St. Augustine from Jacksonville to see them because the manager told me he'd work with my trade, and get me where I wanted to be.. PERIOD! Well It didn't happen.. And now here I am.. browsing mud... Wishing I picked up that FJ today.

I even told them I'd up my monthly payment to $400 a month if they would include my 4,700 negative equity... They still said no. I hate car dealers... I tried to list my car outright on Craigslist and stuff, but no such luck so far...

The 4x4 FJs are a bit hard to find though... Any advice?
 
Sell the G35 privately... then go get a smokin' deal on a brand new FJC at the dealer. =)
 
mine was just under 25k brand new...1 out of 6 dealers would give it to me at 400 over invoice and they got it from a dealer that turned me down? BUT the seats suck my wife wont ride it in.. I just raised the drivers 2 inches so i could see when wheeling.

4000 miles a month? get a prius or tercel or just drop 200-300 and buy a good seat or less if you hit the junk yard..
