Although a well-received vehicle for off-roading and interior functionality, the FJ Cruiser was a rather short-lived Toyota vehicle. Introduced for sale in 2005, 2014 was the final production year for U.S. market.

If you have a used Toyota FJ Cruiser and you’re not sure whether you should trade in it, sell it yourself, or scrap it, it’s important to keep two important things in mind: effort and value. 

Selling your car can be a pain, but it doesn’t have to be. Working with a respectable company like Cash Auto Salvage makes it a simple process with free pick-up (we’ll tow it) and on-the-spot payment.

Regarding the value of your Toyota FJ Cruiser, there are a few important factors we keep in mind:  

• The condition of the vehicle, both interior and exterior
• The mileage
• The condition of the title (is it clean?)
• And potentially – if the FJ Cruiser is considered ‘junk’ – the market price of metal (and the weight of the vehicle).

The Toyota FJ Cruiser design featured a mid-size SUV with a retro look. The vehicle was continuously tested on some of the most difficult terrains in North America in an effort to push its capabilities and deliver a top off-road performance. To keep the price reasonable, some of the unique original features that appeared in a 2003 show model were removed, such as a gear shifter that doubled as a shovel handle, removable interior lights that doubled as flashlights, and removable flat-folding front seats.

Many of these features remained as factory options, however. These features, the engine size, and the FJ Cruiser’s transmission size are just a few reasons why the value of the vehicle will vary and why trying to sell it yourself can be a pain.
