All is well.  Terms haven't changed.  After talking to the credit union, they just didn't want to finance it cause it has higher miles than they usually want.  The dealer was fair with me.  Told me they would support whatever decision I wanted to make.  Since terms didnt change and I really do like the fj, I kept it.  It's a unique 4x4 and a special edition trail teams, cement gray (a kind of blue-gray) with TRD suspension and wheels.  Next week I'll be off-road in Anza Borrego enjoying the  superbloom 🙏





Congrats, glad it worked out. Cement is a great color. My Tundra is this color and I love how it changes in different light. Has a super fine metallic flake. I have a buddy with an FJ in Cement and the TRD package, is a great truck.

In the history of vehicle buying the buyer ALWAYS paid too much.

If the OP likes the vehicle and is comfortable with the price did he really overpay?

Congrats!   Here in Phoenix FJ's are all over.  I just saw two tonight going to the airport.  It's not uncommon to see them with 250K miles on Craigslist and they still bring a pretty penny.

Congratulations.  I spent almost 15 years in the car business and it sure sounds to me like you were treated quite fairly.  It was not uncommon at all for the dealership to "spot" someone in a car with good credit and take an extra bit of time to shop the loan on a higher mileage vehicle.
