    Never, I mean NEVER buy a car from New Jersey! It's that easy. Good luck and have a nice day.
    My 2007 has the center programable compass because it was made after November 2006. Also, I purposefully wanted a 2007 because it is the only year without the idiot sensor (TPMS) Just FYI . Love your work Viking dude! Subbed.

    I'm looking at a 2007 Black Cherry 4x4 JF in Arizona with 132k miles. It's been in AZ all if it's life. No wear/tear on seats, some recent maintenance records (diffs fluid changed, transmission fl changed, new front brakes & rotors) No rust at all, paint looks decent for its age too.

    I personally do not like vehicle reviews that say all the nice things. What's the point?!? Thank you for this. I will definitely follow your guidance. Great video!

    that is a definite salvage title.
    but, if you were looking for cheap base to do an off-road build, might be a viable option. prefer the 2010+.

      @VikingsGarage  Před 2 lety +1

      Agreed, project car for sure. If possible always 2010 and up. Thank you for watching buddy

    That seat has the same wear as my 96 Tacoma. It’s from getting in and out with small of the back carry. I bought a FJ and it’s white. It had low miles and immaculate no rust anywhere. But, I always liked this color. But, u can’t always find exactly what u want.☹️

      Thank you for sharing and watching the video. 🍻

    Mine rides great. They ride bad probably if you stiffen the suspension. My dad was an autobody man all his life, he said look at the lines. My FJ has great lines. The owner before me took very good care of it. It now has 234,000 mi. It looks like new. No rust other than a little surface rust underneath. Burns no oil. I got lucky. I could have gottne burned. I didn't know what to look for. Ithink most of that damaged ones are from hard off roading. I see no evidence mine was used off road.

      You could be right, but the tri-state area is horrible on the undercarriage of this rigs.

    My 07 Diamond Black FJ is in excellent condition compared to this poor FJ. This one’s owner clearly does not take pride in having one.

      100% true. Diamond black kind of uncommon. Nice find.
