2000 celsior vs 2000 crown majesta

[rouxel]

So I have been wanting to buy another crown majesta for a while now. I owned a 92 for 3 or 4 years and it was a awesome car. I now own a 97 aristo, 91 delica l300 and a 91 supra but want to sell the aristo to buy a new "vip." Now I really want another Majesta and the 2000 are almost allowed to come in. Problem is, the 2000 celsior keeps popping up in my head. I read that the crown is a higher end model then then celsior but it just doesnt really seem that way after looking at both cars.

Does anyone know the actual reason the majesta is a "higher end" car?

I can find way more info on the celsior because it is nearly the same as the ls430. They C-F package comes pretty equipped.

I cant find anything on the list of features the majesta has as there is nothing to compare it to here in north america.

the interior of the celsior looks nicer and more equiped then the majesta yet the say the majesta is second only to the century.

Anyone actually know whats what with these cars? opinions?

Thanks

Travis

ucf3X is a 2001 model... so you would be looking at late 2000 builds, which is a year away from being legal

but yeah, little bias.... celsior all the way :poosie:

there was an LS430 for sale on kijiji that claimed to be fully loaded for ~$5k... if its decent i'd pick that up over an import due to all the hassles with insurance and what not.

[rouxel]

ya, thats the ones im looking at. I was going to bring one in now and then let it sit till its legal. The only real reason i want import is cuz of the super low km. all the ones on kijiji are pushing 250+km or are really pricey.

[ercchry]

uh, you cant bring it into the country till it IS legal, so you'd be paying to store it in japan... dont be too frightened about km's on them... they are bulletproof.

Here's one selling for $2950 OBO, 405km though haha

LS430 - one car I think I would own for a long time

[rouxel]

oh really? I was told you can bring it in, just cant register or insure but i have not confirmed that.
