Price really doesn't have that much play in a vip car.. you can have a $500,000 and it doesn't necessarily mean that its vip. You can have a $5000 car and it can be VERY vip...

The market is flooded with them (and for many good reasons) but VIP to me means the car should start at 50K (U.S.) at least. Leather should definitely be standard as that should not even be an option. Wood (not plastic) should be seen at damn near any angle in that car. I understand that VIP Followers in Japan have their own concept of what defines VIP, but to me 300's as classy as they look exteriorwise do not fit the bill esp. with that lame broken axle look. That's not cool.
Well thats great, that is why Lexus to me means any toyota that can manage to buy the Lexus badge and hot glue it on.
Ohh, and there is no broken axle
Its got IRS with a highly modified rear to allow for that kind of camber and to fit those big wheels (width and offset wise...) inside the fender

I'm curious. I'm not sure if you live in Forest Hills, Queens but if so there are hundreds of them in queens along with its cousin the Dodge Magnum.
Again as I stated VIP in a general sense means exclusive or high status. A $5K is not in my opinion and I'm sure there are others that will agree with me. Conversely I realize that VIP in the Japanese enthusiasts sense can be an old SC300 kitted up/slammed with interior/exterior mods. I realize that you any many others may share that view also. I simply stated that I feel VIP to me means the former definition. That's what makes forums cool. (the concept of sharing views and thoughts)

please read the first post... its on canover air suspension with adjustable height and dampening... so this thing can not only be slammed, but can be adjusted to sit higher than stock, and ride stiffer than stock...
So- your wrong, its actually more usefull than stock- and the axle is not broken
