My dad bought an auto 2011 fj cruiser new. One of the last off the boat that wasn’t irradiated from the tsunami that year. My family’s only car for 8 years. Moved across the country 3 times, towing everything we had. Gave it to me as my first car a couple months ago. Incredible machine. 138,000 some miles. It’s been off road a lot, when doing research on a bison heard it got rubbed on by bison, leaving some marks that really tell a story. Been through mountains, plains and everything in between. Still fully stock. No repairs needed. Only damage is some cosmetic from use over the years. I’m gonna keep it in the family forever.

@733Rafael there have been 56 episodes of hyperinflation since the start of the 20th century. They can be divided into 3 major groups war or it's aftermath, the collapse of the Soviet Union, developing countries. Most were very short term, all took place while other countries currency remained stable. You are predicting 60,000% inflation for most of the world, something that has never happened. If you truly believe that stock up on tinfoil now, your hats are going to cost $10,000 soon. But please don't tell me you are buying overpriced gold or freeze dried food from the same people that convinced you the world economy is going to crash, they are playing on the fear they created. Save this video so you can check back in 6 months and tell me you were right.

@Kauffman578 4 года назад

Why you sold it?

@jp1892 4 года назад

I sold mine too, it's really because I had no choice. I bought the car new in Florida in 2006, shipped to Africa and drove it from Jan 2007 to Jan 2020; never thought of changing it, never wished I had another car, I just plain loved it. It was comfortable, reliable,different, highly capable off-road (never got stuck, even on the beach when pulling boats out of the water). The only maintenance I ever did was the basic oil and filter changes, brake pads and one belt that got eaten by mud (I figured no maintenance is better than bad maintenance, bad mechanics in those places can be car killers). I finally managed to do a good service as the transmission was a bit bumpy, and I had to sell it; after oil change and lubrication, it was as good as anew again. Leaving Africa for Indonesia, I finally sold it in January (LH drive vs RH drive, no import of used cars allowed into Indonesia); I figured, I'll just buy another one. Tough luck, when I arrived, I found out that they sell for $80,000 and up!!!! There is no way I am going to pay this kind of money for an FJ (I paid $28,600 for mine in 2006). This is a brief summary of my love story with my FJ.... it was a blue one.

@siennavanlife9502 3 года назад

Sold mine too.. at the time gas was still $3.50/gallon and I was driving all across the country for work, gas was killing me. I paid $35k for it new in 2010, sold it in 2015 with 85k miles back to the dealership for $25k. I knew it was going to appreciate but even if it didn't, I miss it. It was part of my soul... so many amazing places I took that thing. I don't just want 'a' FJ, I want to find that exact one. I don't care if it has 400,000 miles and it's completely trashed. It was my baby for 5 years.

Heck I work as a Toyota dealer mechanic and they rarely come in.

It had 200,000 clocked but it was such in good shape and because it’s rare they decided to sell it. Normally high mileage cars regardless if it’s an in demand Camry in decent shape or some crappy GM car, gets booted to auction.

@A-Negative 5 лет назад

Matthias H I had trouble getting one, took about 2 months to find a good one-the good ones were overpriced or they were gone before I could get to them. The dealers say the average time on lot is 3 days for a good one. I had to buy this one sight unseen, and have it driven down to me or I would have lost it on day 1. Because of 10k I wasn’t worried. The ford dealership I got it at up north had never had one they underpriced it by a fair bit cause they didn’t know what they had. They figured it out because everyone started calling from all over the US apparently but I already committed.
