Imho its a gimicky vehicle. Friend has one, there is no room inside, it rides extremely noisy...and if taken truly offroad it feels like it would just fall apart.
ill give it a thumbs down. Its unique looking though, ill give you that.
I changed my mind then. Great buy. Impulse buying to me is the only real way to enjoy what you get. As an adult its truely the only way to be surprised anymore.

FJ Cruiser >>>>>>>>>>>> CR-V
At least his is an off-road vehicle. Your CRV is nothing more than a glorified station wagon.
I guess it can be a little noisy. However, these things are GREAT off-road vehicles.
your probably right. toyota usually makes some outstanding offroad vehicles ( o tacoma's)
just feels sorta shaky.
For my Birthday about a month ago, wifey said she wanted to go out and get me a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited since she knew I liked them. My better judgement got the best of me, and I told her we needed something more practical for a family of 5. Two weeks later she buys a Honda Odyssey mini-van. Man, family life makes you such a weenie.
I'll get my revenge though. Our next big purchase is a camp trailer. She just doesn't know it yet.
I sell RV's. Travel Trailers, Pop-ups, Fifth Wheels....I'll get my revenge though. Our next big purchase is a camp trailer. She just doesn't know it yet.
I've got 5 or 6 2006's left that I can let go near "real invoice" not that fabricated the auto industry uses. Plus I got a few used ones if you are serious.
lol...ive told my wife i dont care if we have 25 kids we will NEVER own a damn minivan...id rather walk.
B2B...i want to buy a boat in the next 6 months...you guys ever get any decent offshore type rigs? im looking for somethin 20 to 25 foot, outboard motor...center console...
dont know if you guys ever get anything like that as trade...just curious.
Trading a boat for an RV doesn't usually go well money wise on the customers side of things since we only deal in RV's not boats. We've taken that stuff in the past but just end up flipping it for wholesale to someone locally. In the last year we've just gotten away from it completely.
I'm hoping to get myself a nice bayboat in the 20' range in the next 6 months. What have you looked at so far? Where do you fish? What kind of fishing do you like? I'd definitely do something before next summer because we are expecting a few rate increases for luxury financing in the first and second quarter of next year..
I'll have to look you up in about a year when our other vehicle gets paid off. That's when I plan doing some serious camp trailer shopping. I'm sick of spending my weekends in the city. I want to do some camping damnit.
I tell you want if you actually do get back with me in a year I'll sell you something at 15% over invoice and you don't even have to use my lenders....so no back end money. Also don't spend any money on weight distribution set-ups, reciever hitches, brake controls, wire jobs and swaybars. I'll get you most of that for free or cost. I'll be here I've been here for over 3 years.

I had a 4.0 L Wrangler about 11 years ago. Loved it!
I go to central Oregon a lot and there are lots of places to use the 4X4 there.
I bought a used one from Red McCombs, I forgot what year it was but it was when they switched from square headlights to round ones....I'm thinking 98' or something. Nice Jeep but I kept having problems with it. Then I found a bunch of sand scattered throughout the vehicle. I quickly traded it in because I was pretty sure it was used as a rental someone near some beaches.I had a 4.0 L Wrangler about 11 years ago. Loved it!

Well ive been mostly looking at used.
I found the absolute perfect deal on a 23" Welcraft center console...basically the exact boat i want... with a rebuilt Johnson outboard motor, fairly old but in excellent shape and the guy was basically giving it away at the Randolph Lemon lot. I saw it at lunch time, phoned my wife, she agree'd to pursue it...called him...he got back to me that evening that it had just sold that day.
UGHH!!!!
Since then i haven't really found much within my price range. I think in about 2 years my price range will open up quite a bit, but i am antsy and i want something sooner than that.
I really enjoy offshore fishing. I grew up with my dad's 24" Boston Whaler, going offshore almost every other weekend deepsea fishing. I really want to get back into it again.
If you are serious about a bay boat...my uncle is selling a really really nice Majek 22" bayboat...it is decked out, as he used to be a guide...if there is an acessory out there, this damn thing has it...i was considering it for a while, but really want to do the offshore thing.
B2B do you happen to work with a guy named Nealy (or maybe you are him?) I am assuming you work at the RV store in boerne?
No I work and live in Corpus. A Majek would be nice and 22' is a perfect size for me but I'm financially 6-9 months outalthough I've been saying that for 6 months.
I've been leaning to the 1900 Bay Max http://www.tidewaterboats.net/Index.html but or the Gulf Coast http://www.gcmboats.com/new_gulf_coast_boats.htm.
I'll stick to the bays although getting out into the deep stuff would be great. Make sure to get a "survey" done if you buy used I've heard some horror stories.
Yep ive been saying the same thing.I'm financially 6-9 months out although I've been saying that for 6 months.
Now we have a kiddo on the way, so im trying to deny it, but i have a feeling that is going to set me back a bit more in my quest.
Yeah the kid will change things. My son is 1 and a half and its certainly made for some financial restructuring, but it'll depend on your current situation too. I don't have much in the way for babysitters so we don't get out too often. Keeping the kid in diapers at home and out of the public eye has saved me tons in clothing, he's out growing every two months.
Sounds like you and I need to do the same thing and thats just pull the ing trigger or get off the pot altogether. Since I've decided to get a boat I've stopped shore and pier fishing entirely....I need to hit the water. Damn us for being responsible.
yea...my issue is convincing the wife. Every once and a while i can swing her to the agreement, then of course i cant find anything to buy to seize the moment!
then she wisens up and starts getting all realistic and ...and then i gotta battle back into it again next time i find a decent deal.
i think once we pay off my student loan, that is going to free up about 500 a month...that should be a good time to pounce! lets stay in debt baby! its better!
500 a month would definitely help. They do long term financing on boats too. 10 and 12 year notes on anything inside of 3 years old or new it would only run around 250 a month with tier 1 or 2 credit....675 FICO or higher. Add an extra 50 a month to each payment and trade up with positive equity after 5 years. Thats a good rule of thumb with recreational financing.
The FJ Cruiser combines styling of the 1960s FJ40 with the chassis and capability of a modern Land Cruiser...
too bad it really has 0 of the luxury of the land cruiser.
I took this pic today with my cell...
