Re: buying a new fj on southern california?

Is the price in SoCal generally lower than the price in NorCal(bay area)?

Re: buying a new fj on southern california?

Finally, pulled the trigger. 08 Sandstorm 4x4 Auto UP #2, paid 26,300+tax+fee.

I know I could do better according to the excel spreadsheet. Sandstorm was really hard to find, so I took it. After turning a circle to get the compass calibrated, everything is perfect except I wanted those dark TRD wheels to match the sandstorm color so bad. But thinking another grand, maybe the current ones are good enough

A small question, does FJ really have to drink premium gas? Considering its brother Tacoma with the same powertrain can use #87 gas.
