The S170 Crown explained

JZS17 covers the straight-six Crowns of the S170 generation, built from 1999. The code marks a JZ-series 2.5 or 3.0-litre inline-six: the Athlete V versions carry the turbocharged 1JZ-GTE, while others use the direct-injection 2JZ-FSE. All are rear-wheel drive. The Crown is Toyota's oldest continuous nameplate and has never been sold new outside Japan in this form.

The gauge reads 64,474 miles — somewhere near 103,800 km in the units it was printed in.

How this one is set up

Japanese-market saloons and coupes of this period were built to a domestic specification that never crossed to North America: different engines, different trim, different equipment, and in many cases a model that was simply never offered elsewhere. That is the reason to import one rather than buy a local equivalent — there is no local equivalent.

This band covers the JDM cars people import on purpose rather than by accident: turbocharged, rear-driven or four-wheel-drive specifications that were sold in Japan only, now past the 25-year threshold.

Ordering and delivery

Built in 2000, it sits the far side of the 25-year federal import cut-off. You do not deal with the import paperwork; we do, and we organise delivery to your address. The figure is $14,995, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
