The JDM motor differed slightly from the US Spec Toyota Supra 2JZ-GTE twin turbo motor. The Aristo has sequential twin ceramic turbos with VVT-i mated to the 4-speed auto transmission. The timing belt has been changed in the past. They completed the job with a Mitsuboshi belt.
This car has a slick top without sunroof or spoiler. It also has an aftermarket navigation unit with the factory separate climate control unit. This will make it easy to have a separate climate control unit while installing your own stereo and navigation assembly.
The US spec GS300 gauge cluster can be installed if you prefer the MPH readings along with a European RHD climate control with English buttons.
This Aristo comes with a 3.5 auction grade with a C exterior and C interior. The 3.5 is a fairly high overall rating and the C ratings mean the car is average to good. Japanese auctions typically deduct points for any type of scratches or marks on the paint. There is no indication of any accidents or structural repairs done. If this were the case the car would have an R rating. There is a note that the power mirrors are not working correctly and the hood struts will need replacement.
