    I saw that article. I picked up my ‘01 for $4K at 150k miles. The 2j is just so strong that I’m near 200k miles now and it doesn’t feel any different. Of course I’ve had to do more maintenance but it’s never let me down (fingers crossed)

      Blame Mercedes Benz and gov. officials. ;) On the other hand, there would be a serious "drought" on JDM vehicles without Murican 25 years rule in place because cars are cheap to run in Murica, even powerful ones and importing isn't that expensive compared to Europe. :)

    U can also get an Awd version but with a 4AT. Unfortunately never came with the 3Sge with the 6mt on the Gita. Only the 1gfe with the 6mt. Ive owned all 3 versions of the Gita and the 2jz rwd with the lsd is best to own. With regards to the hatch its actually aluminum so its not rust but aluminum corrosion.

    $850-900 even with shipping thats a bargin and its not even broken in at 50k (thats around 38k miles)(100k kilometers is equal closely to 60k miles). I think the Altezza is better looking then the Lexus Is300

  • @LordToxygene
    @LordToxygene ปีที่แล้ว

    Nobody gets the trunk area right on these cars. The trunk floor has 3 different modes and in this car it was set to mode 2. The floor has a standard higher position. Then if you fold the legs under the floor you can put it into the lower position which this one was set to. Then you can remove the floor entirely to get even more space. He also didn't mention how the passenger side seat turns into a table. Not sure if the Japanese version has the subwoofer but the US versions have a Subwoofer in the trunk area as well.

    The parts you begin mentioning from 2:46 are actually functional (if placed in the right spot), not including the shark fin on the roof though, they're the Silence scheme 2642, suppose to be placed at the B pillar and between the side mirror and the body, to reduce the wind noise, Toyota has started to put this design into their new cars. But for the case of this Gita, I agree it doesn't serve their purpose.

    there are a Few IS200 1GFE 155 hp gitas but there are no sedans and no other cars, well theres the 350Z but i cant afford that.
    Being a JDM guy in Germany is Hard *and* Expensive.

      between inland transit, loading, shipping, a/c taxes, deregistratiom, registation in Canada, inspection, duty, and taxes. It's a whole lot more than $1000 to import. Basically count on $4K ontop of the car cost no matter what.
