The only Japanese luxury sedan better than an LS400

I dunno about those wheels or German plates.

Yeah it’s definitely an acquired taste. I’m just excited to see a Century in America.

They are still quite rare, yeah. In a few years the V12s will be eligible for import.

4 years. 4. Long. Years. I’ll probably have enough cash on hand to buy one by then.

Speaking of LS400's I saw something like this cruising around Eugene. Not this exact car, but real close.

Edit: Picture disappeared, hope it’s back now.

Edit2: Looks like pictures just aren’t working for me. It was an LS400 on like the smallest BFG All Terrain’s you can get.

From what I have seen on goo net, they aren’t horribly expensive, for what they are.

Current legal model years go for about $10-15k in your driveway. Not to bad for sure.

Assuming V12s are similar, probably the least risky car with such an engine you can buy. I do wonder about running costs, though.

That V12 is only in the Century but since my dad is a Toyota and Lexus Master Tech we’re thinking we can deal with whatever fun it throws up. It won’t be too much trouble it’s just maintenance and rare parts when it needs it.

With the interwebs these days, you can get parts for anything (with a high enough credit limit). I think it would be doable. I actually had one of these on my mind once, but I think RHD would bug me, and I’d need to stock my own consumables. I’m not averse to silly cars that aren’t cheap to run.
