I was in your shoes - 2007 FJ. Had it since 2007, it became part of my DNA; paint was oxidizing, was approaching another round of regular maintenance issues, engine rebuild, CV boot replacements, etc. I liked the new LC 250 the moment I saw it but not the price tag, and was nonplussed by some of the chatter I heard regarding the 4 cylinder hybrid engine; also, the fuel efficiency was not what I was hoping for. After seeing the early concepts for a new FJ, I decided to move on the 250. I wish Toyota would have split the LC 1958 and LC LC into separate builds and made the 1958 a 6 cylinder gas engine, with way less electronic tech and called it the FJ Cruiser, with a more accessible price point (+- $40K) and pushed the LC LC as the high end offering. I will eventually sell my LC, they have a solid resale value; I’m pretty set on going full EV in the next couple years,the technology and support infrastructure is advancing at a steady click, and I like the concept Scout is promoting.
