@@Lightning_Bob no issues with this car during the time that I owned it. Basic maintenance was very easy, I also changed the timing belt for peace of mind and it was very straightforward.
You Sir have good taste for sure!!! This car was awesome back then, and still awesome even now!!! Love the choice of color, and well the mirror tint and Rims!! Totally Gangster!! You guys are lucky to be getting these cars in such great condition from Japan.
I fell in love with these when we were in Japan. What's it cost for insurance? I'm looking at one now that's already been imported and a guy is selling.
Nice review, what kind of radio unit did you use? Double din? Also could you please kindly inform me what trim panel you used for it? Is it modified es300 panel? Thanks in advance.
What’s the part number on the seat covers? I’ve been trying to find them but not are for the exact make I have. Or if you’d know a place where I could find them online
there are alot of parts that cross reference to lexus models that were sold in the US. Anything specific to the car can usually be found online and ordered from Japan. If you are internet savvy, it is not an issue.
Hey man, Any chance you could point to what you ordered for your radio setup? I'd really appreciate it. I just bought one myself and want to upgrade and how you have it is exactly what I'm trying to do
I used a Metra 70-1761 harness and the radio mounted on to all the factory brackets. Very easy if you have the same options as this car. There is a different harness if you have a factory amplifier.
This one is all OEM Parts, my car came with the factory single din unit and a cubby under. The double din fit with no need for modification. If you have a factory 2 din radio, you can use the 92-96 Lexus ES300 finishing plate (with slight modifications)
@@Pandos_Garage thank you for the info man! So excited my crown gets here in a day or 2 ! Also thank you for this video, really helped me pull the trigger on buying a crown, no regrets at all the first drive to the shipping dock was amazing !
Hey bro how’s it going? I’m from FL too. You honestly sold me on this car was a bit hesitant but considering how reliable it seems I would be selling my daily and making this my daily. How did you find your car? I’ve been looking around for a jzs155 for the 2jz rather than the 1jz just personal preference. Do you have any suggestions on where to look what websites or people to contact please?
Thank you i appreciate it! I actually have looked at quite a few already and was wondering possibly on what issues you’ve might’ve ran into insuring the vehicle and also just throughout the time of owning it
Hi how can I import one to the us I live in queens ny and will it be ok for the DMV and what I just go to the port and pick the car up,and register it with the dmv
Hi, every state has different requirements to register the vehicles and issue a title. I recommend going to your DMV first and asking them what is required to title and register an "our of country" vehicle. To get it in the country, I recommend finding a customs broker if it is something you have never done before. The customs broker will file all the forms required (customs / EPA / NHTSA) to clear customs at the port and have the car released.
hola hermano.. se ve espectacular tu carro. no se si hablas español.. me puedes dar las medidas de los rim - llantas.. y que coilovers estas usando..yo tengo un 1995 crown royal y quiere ponerle unos coilover . pero no quiero algo que brinque mucho. quiero algo suave de manejo diario. que ,me puedes recomendar?.. muchas gracias
Hola Alex. Las llantas son 19x9 y 19x10. Estoy usando unos Coilovers JIC MAGIC para un Toyota Chaser jzx100. A este modelo de crown (jzs151) le sirve los coilovers de jzx90 y jzx100. Te recomiendo una marca conocida como BC Racing o Fortune Auto, no te van a brincar y tienes muchos ajustes.
This is a grown mans car. I cant wait to get mine.
I'd be very interested in knowing about some of the issues or maintenance that you've had to do and how DIY this car might be.

Such a beautiful car
I fell in love with these when we were in Japan. What's it cost for insurance? I'm looking at one now that's already been imported and a guy is selling.
The details ❤
Bro why you ruin the look with those horrendous rims
Lol that boss coffee option
this car is my third choice after ls430, ls400, and then the crown
i thought this was an LS/celsior for a second... gorgeous looking car
thank you!
yeah, it's the perfect combination of a luxury sedan and the supra MK4 engine, I love it
It really is!
Love Toyota 💯💯💯💪🏿❤️🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
maaaaaaaan coming with the LV keyholder was just the icing on the cake for this build.
@@lukeumhoefer yes sir!!!
@@Pandos_Garage there’s a nice 97’ Crown up here in MN I’ve had my eyes on for a minute, you might have me convinced with this vid sir 🙌🙌
What fuel economy do you get?

Hello im trying to bring my 97 crown and registering it in California but idk how much it would cost to do that
Love the mirror tint look
Do you have the part# for the seat covers? I have a 97 crown Majesta that absolutely needs them
Nice! Just got a 96 Cima. What's size tires on them 19s?
Is it hard to get parts for crowns / keep them repaired in the US?

i would trade my 2017 wrx for this in a heartbeat

100th sub 😎
Yeah, I am also curious about this.

Thank you for being Sub #100 !!! 🎉🎉🎉
does anyone know where i can get that dash kit / trim kit for the head unit?
This one is all OEM Parts, my car came with the factory single din unit and a cubby under. The double din fit with no need for modification.

So nice
Does the Toyota crown royal saloon come with a 2jz ge and a manual transmission or not
They are auto only with the 2jz. The only manual ones I've seen are swaps.
Hey does anyone know where to find a body kit for the 97 crown saloon?

What are those white cloth on the seats called?
Antimacassar - a sort of doily normally found on your great-granny's couch!
Would you recommend it as a family vehicle for reliability?
100% I have been daily driving the car for over a year now with no issues.
Great video. Thanks man!
Nice camary bro
Where did you find the lace covers ?
These came with the car, but you can find some used ones on Yahoo auctions Japan.
Its a take my money car
Just one question. Can you swap the headlights and taillights with LED? Liked & subscribed!
Yes, on rare occasions i have seen them pop up for sale on Yahoo Auctions Japan!
I run LED bulbs for my headlight and taillights
