2nd Hand dealers are not all that bad. But some are.

Listed my FJ for sale on Weelee.co.za about 2 months ago. Firstly, I never sell anything privately. Tire kickers I’ve got no time or patience for.

I get n dealer offering me exactly what I had in mind and I thought deal was done with only his vehicle inspection that could still halt the process.

He drives all the way from George to buy the FJ. He’s happy with the FJ and thanked me for my detailed photos and also for disclosing every scratch and dent it had.

He starts taking panels off on the doors and literally checks every single thing on that car. Places i would never have dreamt of looking at. Very thorough.

So I stand there thinking to myself, “hell. I would certainly buy a vehicle from this dealer”. Imagine the vehicles on his lot. All of them screened and checked with a fine tooth comb.

And then off course there is the other side of the coin…..

Good to hear. Keep him in mind next time you're looking to buy.

I bought my previous FJ from a Fj specialist in the Knysna/George regions, as per other FJ enthusiasts (and if this is the same guy) this oke is the best in SA when it comes to FJs.
