Default 1990 Toyota Celsior in Virginia

Talk about oldies. This one was mentioned in the 430 discussion section:

83k original miles for $6995.

Yep. None of those Celsiors are left-hand drive. They could be great, if you ever need parts... But I would honestly just drive the car right-hand drive, if I purchased one.

That site has a lot of great imported cars, Celsiors included; however, you have to look out for the ones hiding their past...

This one is an example, which has been resprayed and doesn't look like it was initially treated well.. The replacement wheels are another indication of that. It was restored, but originally a darker color:

I have no idea why somebody would buy a Celsior. Its just an LS400 with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the road(very hard to see oncoming traffic when making a left turn at a light). Same 1uzfe/automatic trans you get here, same luxury options, just has Toyota badges. I guess if you had a fetish for velour upholstery that would be the only real difference.

I also agree that some of those cars on that website look like ragged out junk. Some of them are super clean and original looking time capsules as well, I'd say don't buy anything with aftermarket parts on it.

I'd really like one of those MK III Supra 2.5 R's. 1JZ-GTE stock under the hood, love the cool 80's styling. Way cheaper than a MK IV Supra as well.

Also, 4wd turbodiesel Mitsubishi van. Hell yes, I'd drive this just for the sheer weirdness/eccentric madness.
