Intro

To start off, I want to say, the only reason that I am selling this is because I want to move to a different country where it would be prohibitively expensive to have a car – If I was moving anywhere else in USA I would just bring it with me, it literally kills me to sell this thing, I have owned Bentley’s, Alfa Romeo’s, multiple Mercedes, AMGs, all kinds of stuff over the years, and this is by far my most favorite car I have ever owned. Toyota wasn’t lying when they put “The best car in the world” on the Century plant.

Exterior

Notable things here are the illuminated parking pole, the vinyl roof (extremely rare), also this is a long wheel base model. This also shows the custom grill (have the stock one also if you prefer), as well as the polished stainless rain visors (also very rare and doubly so for long wheel base model). This car has the best quality thickest paint I have ever seen in my life. Makes the paint on my old bentley look like a kia. You could cut and buff this car about 200 more times before you made it through the clear. Also car has been ceramic coated around 6 months ago.

Special Features

This section tries to highlight some of the more unique features. I’ll explain further as time allows. Rear seat dictaphone, pass-through lounge chair rear seat, rear radio remote control, shoe horn holders, power operated rear curtains, charcoal cigarette filter, champagne box, dual rear subwoofers, illuminated parking pole, heads up display spedometer, lay-flat power seats, power rear seats, seat massagers, Tokyo expressway tollway card reader (speaks to you in japanese), easy access battery charger hookup, trunk umbrella holder, flip down grocery bag racks, YAMATO vanity plate, Factory OEM ostrich feather duster, full size spare tire, stainless rain visors, OEM curtains and upholstery lace covers, 100% virgin wool upholstery from scotland imported to kyoto (the cheaper spec is leather)

Interior

Had to buy 5 head units to find one where the tape deck still works. Didn’t want to ruin the vibe with a goofy looking aftermarket unit. The bottom slot under the radio is a (extremely rare) car phone unit; it doesn’t do anything but it looks cool. Every seat has it’s own cigarette lighter. All the wood trim that looks like plastic is actually solid blocks of milled burl wood (see the edge of the center pocket), Car is tinted all the way around including the windshiled with super light blue 99% UV blocking heat rejection film; I forget the brand but it was whatever the best one that they sold at the time (not cheap). Interior lace covers and curtains have been freshly dry cleaned. Including a few vintage japanese casettes in the arm rest. Also this shows the controls for the seat massagers, the seat heaters, and the controls for the rear passenger to move up the front seats if they choose. There are some cigarette burns on the driver A pillar from the previous owner, haven’t been able to source a replacement for that yet but I can help you do this. Gauge cluster works, basically everything works perfect. Couple cracks in the lower front kick panel. Head liner is mint. Floor mats are near mint, little bit of wear on the driver mat.

Engine

Engine bay is in wonderful shape (note the integrated lamp in the center) Also note the integrated CTEK trickle charger hard mounted to the battery for easy charging if you don’t drive it for a while. Also the car has a new thermostat and new radiator hoses and I put t-bolt clamps instead of the worm gears, also the alternator is new. Also I service the AC maybe around 2 years ago and changed the coolant out and all that, blows like ice. Also if you see the wires up by the headlights, that look aftermarket, that’s load resistors for the LED turn signals.

Trunk

trunk shocks have been replace / trunk easily opens by itself. Power opener button by the driver position. Also trunk is soft close actuated. Umbrella holder, grocery bag holders, full size spare, feather duster, storage bag etc.

Wheels

Wheels are factory 16″ alloys from a GZG50 century, nearly brand new vogue tires

Close up exterior pics

Things of note here would be, there is a small crack on the windshiled that has been filled with resin, and the grill is custom and includes a rare black phoenix badge (compare to stock one in accessories section), aftermarket larger exhaust tip (exhaust itself is stock / quiet), wipers converted to use beam style wipers (PIAA silicon wiper blades from japan, way better than bosch), auto high beam on/off light sensors on the bumper (car turns high beams on by itself on back roads, they turn off if the car sees an oncoming vehicle etc. This feature is also adjustable), headlights are LED projector, led turn signals with load resistors (no hyperflash), JAF badge from japan,

Media Screen

Android auto capability (dash cam, bluetooth, spotify, google maps, voice controlled ie. “hey google, navigate to whereever” etc). Stock spedometer is in kilometers, added a LED heads up display that displays in MPH. Easy to see in direct sunlight. Also aftermarket TPMS monitor with alerts for low tire pressure and so-on

Accessories & bonus parts

Bunch of stuff i’ve accumulated over the last 3 years. Spare set of headlights, spare alternator, multiple stock head units, extra stock amp, extra stock grill, miscellaneous exhaust tips as well as the factory exhaust tip, spare brake rotors and brake pads, spare center caps in various colors, 2 sets of custom tail lights (one is factory with LED panels, one is more custom from japan with crackle ice lenses and swarovski trim), spare radiator, stock speakers (car has upgraded aftermarket speakers in it)
