What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota FJ Cruiser

Price of the Toyota FJ Cruiser: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed manual AWD w/low range		 Very affordable considering vehicle capabilities. The only two comparable (but still inferior) vehicles in the market (Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Hummer H3) are at least $10,000 more expensive
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 We bargained the price down and got a great deal. I see these vehicles are retaining much more of their value than competitors.
Price of the Toyota FJ Cruiser: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Despite a lower price than some competition, between the garbage lease deals and high interest rates, you can end up getting a better truck elsewhere for the same money.
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD		 Little room to negotiate - with multiple dealers
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD		 very costly
