Is it better to restore a Toyota FJ or buy a new one?

Generally, a new vehicle is often considered better than a restored one; however, at FJ Classics, we ensure that every restored vehicle is practically like new. So, this time, let’s dive into figuring out which option best suits your needs.

The Quality of Restoration Matters

This is a common concern, as it’s possible to come across restored vehicles with poor-quality work, which significantly impacts the overall performance of the vehicle.

In fact, there are several myths about restored vehicles, which we’ve addressed in the past, but one stands out:

Restored Toyota FJs are just repainted.

Unfortunately, some restored vehicles have been merely “touched up” with a superficial paint job but haven’t been properly or fully repaired and restored.

This is one of the key factors to consider when evaluating a restored Toyota: its engine, finishes, parts, the vehicle’s year, the quality of the restored components, and other elements that will help you decide whether to go for a restored FJ or a new one.

Vehicle Customization

If you want a Toyota FJ with pink rims, a blue roof, green doors, and yellow upholstery, you can have it.

This is one of the major advantages of high-quality restoration: you can customize your vehicle to match your tastes and needs.

Here, the level of quality reaches even higher standards, as the vehicle is restored to meet your preferences (and we’ll exceed them). Whether you want air conditioning, heating, luxury rims, or any specific detail, it can be adapted to your vehicle—something often difficult to achieve with a new Toyota.

Buying vs. Restoring

In summary, buying a new Toyota is an excellent option, but so is purchasing a restored vehicle.

It all depends on the quality of the restoration and the care given to essential parts like the engine, transmission, and more.

However, it’s worth highlighting that buying a restored vehicle offers the remarkable advantage of customizing every detail to your liking and specifications. It also allows for a thorough inspection of every aspect of the vehicle.
