First lexus 1990 celsior
Hello everyone on CL, I just recently purchased my first lexus. It's a 1990 toyota celsior with only 63,000km. Car is still being shipped to me unfortunately, won't have it until July. Always wanted to own a lexus, originally wanted a 98-00 but couldn't pass up this one in the auction. To what I beleive it is a top of the line model. Someone correct me if im wrong. Well what's the thread with out pictures!!
I have owned many 240sx, a couple ae86 corollas, my last car was a 1988 bmw 325 (e30)
Owned for a while but kinda lost interest in it after someone rear-ended me.
We'll looking forward to getting this project started.

Thanks legendary, this will be my second rhd vehicle. One of my previous 240sx had a conversion done. There fun to drive gets alot of looks. I couldn't find a lexus locally with under 150k miles, and if they did it had a rebuilt title.

Congrats and welcome; I feel like I saw the listing for this car recently.. Yours is the same color as my LS with mudguards as well.
It is definitely hard to find one with low miles, in good condition, and with service history, unless you happen to know someone. I was lucky to come across mine a few years ago.
I envy your TRAC option and the other goodies that Celsiors have over the USDM LS 400s.
Before you do anything, I would check your coolant level and if the system has any leaks, when you get the car. There's a lot of coolant all over the top of your reservoir, and the level looks quite low in the tank.

Congrats on the purchase. From the pictures i see you got the C F package with all the goodies for the rear seats. I always wanted to know what could be controlled from the back seat.

Thank you for clarification that it is the C F package. I will let you know in a month what all can be controlled from back there. I'm hoping the messaging rear seats work still lol

Toyota Celsior details
As Yamae explained, Celsiors came with either standard suspension or air suspension setups. These were denoted on the frame as UCF10 or UCF11, respectively.
If I remember correctly, the C F package included seats with a rear massaging feature (which is part of why they look different than LS 400 rear seats), radio controls, rear climate controls, rear heated seats, and a cassette player.
EDIT: Rear seat adjustment switches also seem to be on the control panel.

Yeah that's one of the only things I didn't get a picture of was the controls in the rear arm rest. So is that the only thing that makes the CF package has over the C?

I have a lot of links on the Toyota Celsior, as well as the LS 400.. You can see some more about the C F here and here.
Interestingly enough, the C F package weighed 50 kg more than the C package. Here is also a cool digital catalog for your car. - I can't read Japanese, though... I just look at the pictures and try to understand it.
