Ngl I'm happy that this car is underrated and most people don't know about it

toyota definately didnt miss with the aristo v300

I believe the Aristo is a Toyota badged Lexus GS300, and that 3.0 litre in line six cylinder is a gem of an engine. Toyota/Lexus are absolute automotive masterpieces of Japanese engineering. Beautiful car, lucky you.

Thank you 🙏🏼 The GS300 is actually a rebadged Aristo, as the Aristo came out two years prior to the GS. They are amazing cars, I have little to no complaints. One being they didn’t come in a factory manual transmission option.

@@spaceboatt May I ask, has your Aristo been reliable?

@spaceboatt

3 ай бұрын

It has been reliable outside of some age/mileage wear issues. The throttle body gave out so I had to replace that, as well as the radiator because the plastic tank started leaking. Only other thing i’ve done I had the timing and water pump service done, that’s more preventative maintenance rather than necessary.

This car is baaaaaaaad. I enjoyed this entire video. Super in depth and the car is dumb clean. Excited to see what you do with it and shooting it sometime.

thank you brother! definitely need to get this thing in front of your lens whenever you’re back in town 🤝

lol nice selling points on point. I wish mine had the sunroof option. Keep the seals cherry and it’s not gonna leak… but I love my leather seats. It makes the car feel so much more precious than a jzx100.

i was looking for the cloth seats since they were never an option in the US, at least in this color. I had a GS300 so I had the leather and sunroof experience also, but i sold that car recently and am now missing the luxuries a bit for sure.

Soooo dope bro!! Good to finally see an American review after the 25 year law. I'm excited for you bro, I can't wait to get mine

I have the same model V300 JZS161 Aristo with the number plate RAR 1570 = R ARI570 Mine is year 1999 and it is only done up to 70,000Km only with original paint. It is my spare car and I love this car so much. Everything is stock condition.

YUPPP SHII WENT HARD, Gotta cruise it soon !

I just bought me a gs300 I love it my first mod is gonna be loud muffler 😁

congrats bro! whatever you do keep your resonators in, it reduces the rasp you get on the GE engines. All I have done to my GS300 is a rear muffler delete with 4.5in tips and it’s loud while still sounding great.

Just bought one of these last year. I wanted a black one so bad. But ended up with a white one, same specs as yours. Awesome car-good luck with it homie.

likewise brother! my car was white when i bought it too, originally a silver car. I had it sprayed BMW jet black door jams and all, only thing i’m missing is the engine bay.

What a beauty 😍😍

Makes me miss summer.. (My Aristo is still in winter storage :P )

Man beautiful car. I have a GS. What state are you in in bc inwas looking into importing a aristo but didnt know what the imports laws were in here in vegas

@spaceboatt

As long as the car is over 25 years old it’s legal to import, as far as registering it that’s where it might get tricky because it won’t pass emissions. For me in AZ, its emissions exempt as long as I have collectors insurance on the car. Which is the kind of insurance you want anyways on these kind of cars, so it works out.

dream car

🔥🔥🔥

I like to see more of this car

Its not often they get noticed. I was recently offered cash for my Aristo on sight.

How much was the total price for import.. I also had 2001 gs 300.. great car to start with

I'm building a toyota aristo myself. I need to make some videos

I need to start making videos of mine had it awhile

BOV was easy to install, took me 30 mins at the most. head unit was trickier because I couldn’t find any wiring diagrams for bypassing the JBL amp. if you have a test light and some patience you’ll be alright.

@@spaceboatt according to Google the 400 was 46,000 and the 300 was 37,000, so I’d say 50k-ish considering the difference between an NA Supra and turbo Supra was around 15k. Apparently the V300 was sold for 4.4 million yen which came out to 30k usd so there’s also that. But I imagine not having to import it to a different country means it’s cheaper and also not being labeled the luxury brand.

Its just a lexus gs400 lol
