Large repairs and costly maintenance items were looming. I didn't experience any problems during the first seven years of ownership. But the last year was totally maddening, as problems and gremlins plagued me with constant trips to the local garage and dealership. The Av was like Jeckle and Hyde, I didn't know who was going to show-up. My Av lost our trust by becoming very unreliable.
It wasn't easy trading-in my cladded Av. Eight years of good memories. I seriously considered trading up to the newer body style Av, but cost was a factor. To my surprise, The FJ Cruiser met my family's current needs, and provides that same "head turning" reaction that my AV did when I first bought it. I got a great deal on the FJ that I just couldn't walk away from.
I know that I haven't attended any GTGs in awhile, and was hoping to get to one this year. Maybe it will be in the FJ
I know that I have some AV parts/accessories hanging around and may be listing some items in the For Sale section.
Below is a pic of my FJ Cruiser.
