Vehicle Description
Distinction and opulence are a given with this 1991 Toyota Century
VG40. But while you rarely see these ultra-luxury RHD sedans in the
USA, the price, features, and smooth V8 power this delivers may
also make this your practical choice.
Those of you who love Japanese classics already know the Toyota
Century, but for everyone else, here's why the car is so important:
it's timeless elegance. The design first appeared in 1967 and it
evolved for decades rather than being replaced. So it holds an
honored place similar to the Porsche 911 and original Range Rover.
This VG40 model represents part of the final evolution, and so
you're going to see later technology but still done with a touch of
old-school flair. It's in the squared-off stylizing, exclusive
golden badging, and chrome bumpers that hug the form. Even the
Illusion Grey Pearl paint has the right conservative style with an
opulent glow. And we even love the little distinct details, like
the fender-mounted side mirrors and turbine-style wheels. And while
there's a marker on the front bumper to help park this large sedan,
we bet you're also just thinking about hanging a diplomatic flag
from there because so many of these sedans were used by
ambassadors.
The interior is pure opulence. After all, this could have been a
Lexus except that just wouldn't feel right for a car that is so
intertwined with Toyota's history. So you have supple leather
upholstery, plush carpeting, and tasteful wood trim. But as a true
Japanese car, you also have some techno-wizardry with the
attractive full digital gauge panel. You may see a little wear from
age and use, but overall, you can tell this has spent its life thus
far as a respected luxury car. It's loaded with all the best
features like power seats, power windows, power locks, power
mirrors, a rear defogger, a tilt/telescoping steering column, and
provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow
cold again.) And since the stock Japanese radio won't work in the
USA, the stereo is now an AM/FM infotainment touchscreen unit with
Bluetooth and a subwoofer in the trunk. And since this is the
Japanese equivalent of a Lincoln Town Car or a Mercedes S-Class,
there is impressive room in the rear. In fact, you can almost use
this like a limo with features like rear curtains and power
adjustments to the rear bench.
Under the hood is a special motor. This 4.0-liter V8 is from
Toyota's V-series, which was basically reserved for the
long-standing first-gen Century line. This is the final evolution
of the series, and that meant nice updates like the largest
displacement and fuel injection. The reason this is reserved for
the top Toyota is because it was made to be smooth, swift, and
quiet. It works with the four-speed automatic transmission, to
deliver quite a comfy overdrive cruiser. Plus, with power steering,
cruise control, and four-wheel power disc brakes, this feels like
it could even be a practical choice for someone who wants the most
comfortable car around for a value price.
This is pure luxury in one of the most distinct cruiser packages
around. So at a price like this, we know this is a deal that will
be moving quickly. Call today!!!
