1990 Toyota Soarer 2.0 GT Twin Turbo (USA Import) Japan Auction Purchase Review

[@ef7andapp170]

The styling on this car just works for me. Timeless.

[@happy_camper]

Many people want to import Skylines and Supras, but I prefer this.

[@GG_Pyro]

damn. the 80s and the 90s is really the golden age of japanese cars

[@eliantonietti7233]

the body is boxy af, but in such an elegant and sporty proportions that its so beautiful

[@obsoletegeek]

I love late 80s-early 90s Toyotas. Wonderful!

[@stvnellis16]

Someone really loved this car; keeping something of that age takes a lot of patience an money lol. Love this era of soarer, even more so the aero cabin!

[@andxx0r_the_second671]

If you had one of these, a BMW E24, and a Lincoln Mark VII LSC - all 3 in black - you'd basically have all of the most menacing personal luxury coupes of the 1980s in your garage.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

The 560SEC has a place in that list too.

[@banpeinet]

Both first and second generations are among my favorite cars by Toyota! Congratulations to the buyer and you have excellent taste! The styling of the first and second generation is very similar to the two door AE86 as the designer of the Soarer worked on the AE86 as well. In one of the Japanese AE86 magazines there is an interview with him and a comparison between the two styles.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Hi Art! Good to see you around. How's the AE86?

[@banpeinet]

@@PacificCoastAuto unchanged, it is still in a lockup waiting for me to have enough spare time to pick it up or sell it off

[@ion_q]

Oh no you never started it!! Gorgeous piece of automotive artwork, just flawless!

[@MrCarGuy]

Just remove regulations, put this era of cars back into production as is, and I'll pay

[@JeepDude_1]

Like the style of these better than skyline

[@GostMob]

Still my dream car to this day😪💯someday I’ll have it

[@angiee33]

I'd kill for the aerocabin version of this.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

We have exported two of them. With only 200 of them made, we have exported 1% of the total volume.

[@M-PASTA]

that digital dash is hot!!!

[@Its_Virk099]

Most underrated car like cressida 😢

[@HisNameIsTater]

The 4.2 liter vortec is an inline 6 and a monster of an engine.

[@doncorleon9]

That is a beautiful car. These make me sad that I cannot import anything older than 8 in my country.

[@Darktooth_]

Love that car ! This was my first choice but my budget didn't followed so I go on the celsior

[@The_One_Over_There]

I love these, And this one is a extremely nice example. i'd really love to see it as a Manuall but still, Very cool looking car

[@ericn7698]

2:23 - Was anyone else anticipating him giving it a little rev?

[@PacificCoastAuto]

I try to be quiet around the neighbours. Nobody likes having a noisy car exporter on their nice quiet street. We had one of them call the police on me last week.

[@demogaming8895]

@@PacificCoastAuto Then they're the bad neighbors not you

[@ufoxfox4352]

They definitely came in a factory manual also I've a friend who has 1 here in Ireland 1990 model, All be it rare I believe to find in manual,

[@DANNYN224]

It looks great

[@reneeharewood5053]

Would love to own one these

[@ViicSee]

Incredibly beautiful car

[@alcyon2sp]

It did come with manuals

[@SudeennnSam]

Modern classic

[@heilong79]

These were so cheap at one stage but like most JDM RWD cars the prices have climed up.

[@butchdeadlift7551]

Yeah, good ones are around $10,000. It's crazy.

[@socketoutlet]

Nice jdm legend,so are those 2 evo 4 behind ehe,any chance of it being featured on video later on?

[@rexeverything4578]

0:52 A 4 cylinder in-line 6?

[@alexa5a]

I think he meant 4 litre in-line 6

[@rexeverything4578]

@@alexa5a There are no 4L 6 pot Soarers. The only 4L Soarers are the Lexus crossovers, and they're a 1UZ V8. The only other Toyotas with a 4L motor are the late model 1GR V6 SUVs.And that's pretty much the only 6 pot 2L there is on the planet. Every other 2L is a 4 banger unless you get into F1 stuff. He clearly meant what he said, it's the only thing that makes any sense. 🤣🤣 It was just a slip of the tongue, nobody's perfect.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

If you watch enough videos, you will hear me mix up words a lot. I think I have something wrong with my brain wires. I promise it's not due to drinking while working but sometimes it feels like it.

[@thesis4349]

Looks gorgeous. And kind of Yakuza stile.

[@zandern9489]

Looks like they did offer in a manual- okay- new goals- this would look great next to my 88 3SGE Celica. Prices still through the roof? Great video sir, thank you!

[@MrChaz0409]

Your got the power of the turbo 🤣

[@chiefoperationsofficer4696]

Love those cars! Nice job guys! Hey question, I have a Gloria and had an alarm system put in. Once that was done the Female Japanese voice prompts stop working.....!!! Any idea how to fix that? It used to announce to buck your seat belt please, and also would announce when you push the toll reader how much money was left on it. Help please! Thanks in advance for your help!

[@PacificCoastAuto]

The toll box might have been uninstalled when the alarm went in. You would probably want to talk to the shop that did that and see if they can "undo" that. Chances are the toll box tells you the price of the last toll that was charged to your account, not your remaining balance. Toll cards are like credit cards and don't hold a balance. Also, the Japanese you hear when you start the car is probably the toll box stating that there is no card inserted in the toll box.

[@butchdeadlift7551]

Yeeeaaaahhhh! My friend is getting this through you after I got the GX100 Chaser a couple months ago. I need to send you guys a proper thank you email.

[@crxdelsolsir]

Amazing how the exact same car hardly age whilst using being used every day (171,503 kms in a country that is not as wide and traffic free as North America or Australia etc) as they were used and maintained properly. While under the ownership of others they find their way to the junkyard/wreckers/breakers in a matter of a few years.

[@Noukz37]

What a cool car! I've never heard of one... probably because it wasn't in the Gran Turismos 🙂

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Yeah, I can't think of a video game that the GZ20 was in. I'm sure there are some.

[@mikeisaacs2314]

They thought of them self as cool 😂

[@gradams68]

nicE! JEEBUS! WOW ... not a daily but wknds hf

[@meowchat6175]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I love this car!!!!! 2.0L DOHC inline six Turbo👍😸

[@chasingitsuki]

I hope you do a video on my jzx100..i think thats an R grade that was worth it. I hope..Also toyota really outdid themselves in the 90s, tems system is crazy for a 90s car lol.

[@televisionandcheese]

Super gran tourismo !!

[@seanhutton7155]

Awsome car ,had one back in the day, pitty the front doors are so heavy that they sag over a few years and need to buy a new special double hinge from Japan which cost rediculous money... such a shame

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Yeah, that hinge system is insane. The next gen Soarer (Lexus SC) had them too. I recall seeing a similar system on a Mercedes Benz door of the era too but I'm not sure the model or who was first. It pulls the door forward of the fender to allow a bit more room to exit- always a problem for two-door coupes with long doors.

[@alcyon2sp]

@@PacificCoastAuto this soarer is the first. The merc only had this circa 2005

[@prismatic9804]

Is there going to be a video of that 80 series coming soon?

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Not that one but we have some past ones on the channel if you want to search.

[@seanjamesjawns108]

Hey man we're are you ? I thought maybe Canada but I notice all the Asian people around. I'm going to be rich one day when my trust hits and I would love to get in to this.

[@aking19999]

Waiting for the Mitsubishi pajero evo review.

[@foreyx]

💪💪

[@dniroshan1371]

Can we get the mitsubishi pajero evolution in the next video

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Those only start being legal in the USA this upcoming September. We have sold five of them in the last 3 months but all for dealers or individuals that aren't allowing us to post the videos. Unfortunately, the ports in Japan are all really full so we aren't allowing anyone to buy cars early. It seems that cars destined for Russia can't be shipped there right now and they are taking up a bunch of room. USA requires cars to be washed before export and there are only select few holding companies with washing facilities. Give it a few months and I'm sure someone will allow a Pajero Evo on here. They are really cool.

You da man!!
