After my last post about cars, a good friend pretty much convinced me not to buy a new car for a while. After all, he argued, there’s nothing mechanically wrong with my car, and I live downtown and walk everywhere so no one knows what I drive anyway. Why not, he said, spend $500 to patch up the car’s interior, and keep driving it for several more years? That was the course I was leaning toward anyway, so it was good to get that advice.
Then I started seeing a car – actually an SUV – on the road that I hadn’t noticed before: The Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Normally I’m not a fan of SUVs but this is a really sharp looking car, especially in its Voodoo Blue color. It has a 4-liter V6 which is plenty big enough for an SUV this size, and it looks like the base model (~$22K) comes with everything I would need. It just looks like it’s waiting to be driven to the beach. And it’s a Toyota so you know the reliability is good.
Anyone own one of these? Or know somebody who owns one of these?
