Highly considering selling

[tom4bren]

Cece,

I sold mine and when I see one I miss it.

Then I come visit this site and see all the problems folks keep having and it makes me smile again.

Sell it.

The only trouble I've had with mine is CV boots. That was self imposed by the lift so it doesn't even count.

They'll be prying the VX keys out of my cold dead hand someday (hopefully in the VERY distant future).

If you're looking for a vote, put me down for keeping it. You'll find the source of your problems & be happy with your ride again.

I'd say sell the VX and get an FJ for all the listed reasons. I've gotten to see modified ones up close & personal and like you already said...you can lift it higher & slap bigger meats on it and have a multitude of aftermarket support. And it won't be in the shop for a month at a time to fix it.

BUT....I don't know how true this is....BUT...an FJ owner told me they already stopped building new ones and are only left with what is currently in inventories...so if you snooze you'll lose out on a "new" warranty equipped one & have to settle for a used one (higher finance % rate on used cars too.)

You still have Gil's to drive whenever you want & he'll probably develop a liking for the FJ as well. Why put all your eggs in one basket anyways!

And if you truly can't take the loss of a VX down the road..there will always be another used one...just don't buy another proton....lol. j/k

Or...you could hold out and see if Hummer (just bought by China) will build the HX or H4 (VX like Hummer vehicle.)
