New To Sevs: Crown Sedan And Wagon

[Hank Scorpio]

Well there goes my plans for keeping the Legnum for a while. Sounds like its time for an upgrade!

[Iron Chef]

Just To Clarify... Are they all awd?

Nope RWD.

[Hank Scorpio]

Manual option or all auto?

[Iron Chef]

All auto, but like the Laurel, manual conversions are pretty straightforward.

[Luke_ENR34]

hmm Tow car for the 34 lol

[Mr Eps]

why the hell anybody would want to drive a car like this as a manual is beyond me :S

why the hell would anybody want to drive that in a manual?

...why do people only want "manual" when it comes to imported cars??

that car would be ruined in a manual.. it'd just be wrong!

[Import Monster]

It does kinda defeat the purpose of it.

But I would like to see someone drifting the sh1t out of one over here.

Sorry for the stupid question. What exact model/year is the 1 in the pic?

[Mr Eps]

hey guys, sorry to zombie up this thread to the top...

but is there any news about this? - hoping for kristian to say something like..

...yes Rowan, there is a particular compliance shop in Sydney that are very on the ball about these and no - it's not going to be like Benrys' Mark2 cos these guys are better"

im hoping he says that

then hoping he says "all we were needing is a test car"

hint.... hint...

just sayin - i have heard that apparently there is someone somewhere bringing a test car in...

is that true?

if it's NOT true...

how much would a black majesta be? on YAJ they seem to chase between 400K - 900K

which seems very cheap considering these are a few rungs up in toyota heirachy than the celsior - aka Lexus LS400

[Iron Chef]

Didn't I already say this elsewhere? I'm getting dejavu! Yes a workshop in Sydney is prepared to do one if someone provides a test car.

[Mr Eps]

test cars need to be stock stock standard don't they? like not even aftermarket rims are allowed, true or false?

if that is the case i might wait for one of the aus-vip guys to get one, if im getting a uzs173 i want aimgain and trafficstars, and i want coilovers too

and i want all the judgemental imports guys to get angry at me again fro "bringing in a bloody modified car"

[zebra]

If they are as cheap as you say they are Eps even I would be keen on one

[SABBAi]

Needs to be a Buddhist one with a temple on the back to float my boat...

replying to an old post, be here's an early model temple for you.

[Nee-san]

Just put the wheels in the boot Eps.....

You realise guys if he buys one, he will stop talking talking about f**king soarers for like a whole 5 minutes.

[Mr Eps]

no i won't.

haha

nah i went out monday night n got driven around in my mates VT commode.

and while they are nasty pieces of gutless uninspiring shit... i must admit it was nice to get out of the back seat and have my own door to get out of...

kinda made me miss my cefiro a lil bit...

so i came home all starry eyed for a JZS171...

...then i found out the difference between crown athlete n crown majesta... and realised i would rather a majesta

i don't want another turbo car - i want a V8!

Andrew - to be quite honest it's not that they're cheap really... if anything they're appropriately priced - let's be honest, as far as a japanese owner is concerned they're a ~12 year old car that needs inspections done every year now...

...and many are nearing 100,000km which everybody KNOWS that means the car will explode any day now

so if anything they're quite reasonably priced...

...there's one at USS that goes up tomorrow in Tuubu...

it's 202 black onyx.

101,000km

1UZFE

4 stars

2002 build

black paint with tan leather interior

has either aftermarket height controller - or aftermarket coilovers... either way it's lowered.

rims look like weds kranze somethings's's?

kristian would you mind letting us know (pm if you want) (or inbox my facebook) how much this goes through at?

auction ID is apparently:

FUN3722

because ^^^ that car is what i would be trying to import...

i know that compliance is cheap on a test car... but at any rate... i simply cannot justify waiting around for a year or so to await testing etc..

when after getting my damn car delivered to me here out in perth in the year 2012...

...i get this:

unless kristian is keen to broker me a white fridge mobile, then comply it... then i on-sell it as someone's project car..

....THEN get a 202 black onyx baller one ;-)
