As for FJ's, the 2013+ models are considered the best, and they made less 2013 and 2014 models in these 2 years combined vs 2007 alone.
As for manuals, only a few hundred exist.

This car is available on eBay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/142686316660

55k miles.
No accidents.
$5000 flat gray wrap, fit perfectly, no loose edges.
Flawless, Calvary Blue top to bottom.
Full Disclosure: Driver-side door was replaced with factory matching door, due to a tree limb falling on it.
Fit and paint are perfect.
All glass is factory.
No accidents. No scratches, no dings on body.
Small scrape on front bumper, thinking about replacing it with custom bumper or rhino lining it...at this time, I've just left it alone.
Lifted.
New tires.
Just fully serviced.
Drives and runs like new.
If you would like to wrap the doors, it's $500.00 for any color you want.
Or, if you want, you can just have the wrap removed for about the same price.
I've just decided to leave it alone.

NADA says this car is worth 32 grand.

We're Asking $29,495.

This is auction value.

If you would like a 2013+ manual for less, there is a 103k mile one with steel wheels and stripped out at CarMax in California, it will be 25 grand with a no haggle price guarantee.

What are our customers saying?

Will Never Step Foot in a Dealership Again

Aaron knows cars and he cares. I totally trust his word. Buying my daughter a vehicle from Aaron was the most streamlined and easy large purchase I have ever made. I will never step foot in a dealership again.

Highly Recommend Motorphilia

Last year before my 30th birthday, I contacted Motorphilia looking for an SUV without having to use a dealership. Aaron returned my call immediately and we discussed the type of vehicle my wife and I were looking for and our budget range. A few weeks later on my birthday, a shiny white 2016 Toyota 4Runner appeared in my driveway. Today, it's our go to vehicle for our road trips across the state of Texas and all over. I highly recommend Motorphilia if you are in the market for a new vehicle.

Thanks Aaron!

Will Never Step Foot in a Dealership Again

Aaron knows cars and he cares. I totally trust his word. Buying my daughter a vehicle from Aaron was the most streamlined and easy large purchase I have ever made. I will never step foot in a dealership again.

I have purchased two vehicles from Motorphilia and I want to say I would never ever go to a traditional car dealership again.

Cee has bought 2 cars from us and says he will go nowhere else in the future.

"I have purchased two vehicles from Motorphilia and I want to say I would never ever go to a traditional car dealership again. The hassle the back-and-forth and the time spent to no consideration for personal care has soured me on those type of companies. However, I believe Motorphilia is the wave of the future. Very honest, personal care, and flexibility.
Getting the car you want at a true market value, not what the dealership/market says.
They have a loyal customer for life with me.
They even bring your new car to your home, cleaned and inspected multiple times over. And if you have a trade-in, they take your vehicle at that time.
I highly recommend this company."

Quick, Easy, and Great Deal!

I was dreading the whole "dealership" experience - waiting for the sales person to put on a show, try to sell me something way above my budget, and waste my time by walking back and forth to the manager's office to see "what we can do". Aaron made the process incredibly easy, got me what I wanted quick, for a great car and a very reasonable price! I am very pleased and look forward to using him again.

HANDS DOWN Best Decision

This whole process was HANDS DOWN the best decision I've made. Aaron is incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to speak with. The process is very simple. Tell him what you're wanting, how much you can spend... and boom. He makes it happen. [..] The whole experience was lovely and Aaron's professionalism was on point. It might be a while (because I am digging my new fancy pants vehicle) but we will be returning customers.
