Nice pick up bro. My car is a VIP already. Do you want to swap. LOL

Suggestion: Upper Rear Window Spoiler, change your radio for one touch screen. Your Aristo radio not work in Canada or in USA. Only a few radio station. I believe is just plug and play. But I not 100% sure. LOL

BTW. What color is inside? Also, you said that is leather interior. You're lucky to have found one with leather inside. Is no that many in Japan with leather interior.

nice pickup, importing one was probably one of the best decisions ive made in my life. definitely gonna pick up a second aristo in the next few years. and for that vip look you should go air suspension and some more aggressive wheels. maybe some fenders too...serialnine has some decent ones

can someone please tell me why importing an Aristo from Japan is better then buying one from your country? Isnt it alot more expensive to have a car shipped from japan? Whats the real benefit? Pardon my ignorance.

The V300 Aristos came twin-turbocharged from the factory, so the appeal of buying one of those is obvious. Past that, I think it's mainly just the appeal of the rarity and Japan-only options/specs.

I cant speak for zyro1214, but from my experience its actually not expensive at all. Additionally its not that easy finding one for sale here in canada ...and when there is one for sale the guy wants a ridiculous amount of money for it since its rhd,

It has coils, they are just raised to sell, i have pictures somewhere on my computer! and front window tint is illegal in the province i'm from. Also I paid 7700$ fully landed. It has 110,000km on it. So its basically new.
