Vehicle Description
Coming soon to www.CarsAndBids.com!
Sold with a clean US title.
This 1998 Toyota Aristo “V300” is a budget priced example, which has some cosmetic issues (listed below) but is mechanically sound. The Aristo was sold as the Lexus GS300 for the US market, and this particular vehicle is sporting a set of Lexus badges - guess its previous owner thought it would be fun. The 2JZ-GTE twin turbo straight 6 engine delivers smooth and steady power to this VIP sedan. This “V300” Aristo was imported from Japan in May 2023 and is offered for your consideration.
