I've been thinking about selling my FJ40. Not sure that I want to part with it, but the financial aspects would make sense for my family. Just curious: what do y'all think it's worth? I'm not looking for the "$100 and a can of rusty bolts" answer, nor the "whatever someone is willing to pay you" answer. How much money would be a fair price, both to me and to a potential buyer? Here's the scoop:
