I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CENTURY V12!! (it's EVEN BETTER Than I Expected...)

[@overnightpartsfromjapan01]

I bought one almost 3 years ago and still love taking it out. Drives super smooth and gets lots of attention. You'll love it.

[@CarSauce]

Thanks! Glad you like yours!

[@chancehaugstad1142]

How much did it run you, if don't mind my asking

[@overnightpartsfromjapan01]

@@chancehaugstad1142 '08 grade 4B 133kms, blue on blue wool velour, curtains and doilies. Ended up being around 19.5K AUD to buy and 29K AUD shipped, complied and on the road. The yen has weakened about 15% since then.

I’d like to know too ^

I just bought one myself (black 6 speed car with wool interior) after looking at these for the last 3 years.... And honestly, it cost $10k less then a brand new Mazda 2 😂, my wife and family think im crazy, but i can't hear them or the other haters as i loft down the road in complete silence in my hand built vehicle made by a team of only 45 dedicated japanese craftsman 😂. Lifes too short to not own a 17foot long, near 3 tonne, V12 powered hand built japanese machineeee, happy sailing mate!

[@jacintoobrigado1230]

Re driven and car sauce cross over is pure gold 🥇

[@flashjazz7800]

These cars are truly amazing. Can't go wrong!! The amount of detail, craftmanship and pride that is put in each Century.

[@PM-do2yu]

All true but the Toyota Century is still a very complicated vehicle. Little sensors can fail. Replacing the can be a nightmare. Spark plugs are replaced every 100k. It’s a big job.

[@wayneyeend7092]

Great video. I bought a 2012 Century in Adelaide 2 months ago and my p-plate son and I drove it to Sydney. What a wonderful experience. It’s so unique. Quiet and luxurious. Powerful but not in your face. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment. I am fascinated with the history behind this great car.

[@manvindersingh1338]

I have 2008, and I just love it. I explain driving her simply as, this v12 drives like an electric car, absolutely silent and effortless

this dude just copied two other car content creators who also bough this car before him.

[@watthaile2053]

​​@@slevinlindsay3624 did they somehow get an exclusive right to be the only owners of such a car.?? Did they somehow get a patent on the idea for doing such a video.?? Lots of silly, small-minded people needlessly pitting various content creators against each other.

39:00 You can't hear the V12 ? I remember when a tuber put on a $20K custom exhaust and had the car screaming like a F1 !

[@KnightIndustries572]

I remember that one, was insane, sounded like a jacked up Lamborghini Murcielago! LOL

[@FastGojira]

Eff spot? Silly Aussies won't even give credit, like some UK class bias. Oh well 😂

[@overnightpartsfromjapan01]

you can still hear it whirring away when accelerating from a stop at city speeds, but once underway at light throttle it is almost inaudible.

[@matg5995]

Found this channel while looking for reviews for a new car. At that time was thinking of the MG ZST. 2 weeks later I'm researching Japanese imports. What have you done!!! 🤩

[@markchilcott719]

Made you consider a top quality Japanese car, rather than the others. .

[@PM-do2yu]

Having my own Rideshare brand, when the mood took me I’d surprise riders in my 2005 (6spd) Century. Black, wool, lace and mirrors are the features that set it apart. When buffed, the paint stops even non-car people.

[@pjcroldao]

Them emblem is a Fenix. It represents Immortality.

Justin is a legend. We’ve bought 2 century’s from him. Loveeeee those cars.

[@jace888au]

Such an awesome car and great to see Adam too! Looking forward to more content with Justin! Didn't realise that's what he went on to do after car reviews.

[@brettram8099]

Great video and congrats on the awesome Century…very nice!

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

Haven't watched the video yet but this is exciting! It's like we're going back to the old days when Matt bought crazy & wacky cars such as the SsangYong Chairman.

[@CarSauce]

And it’s only getting started 😅

[@maxwood192]

Really enjoyed the video, Love the car, I do love cars from Japan, great to to see all you guy having a fun time.

The best car shop anywhere. Cult and Classic are amazing. If you're into Japanese cars and the classics period, this is the place for you. I love my kei. Thank you Justin and Kathy.

[@FreestyleCab]

I've had this video on my playlist for 4 months and I've been putting off watching it as I knew what would happen! I only made it 10 minutes in to the video before other browser windows were opened and searches on all the car sales websites were made..........curse you CarSauce! 😉

Awesome vid guys. I am pretty jealous of daddy Jacob’s shirt

[@tomokokishi3066]

So are you going to install that 10000$ race exhaust😂

I did the next best thing LX570 - 2012 I get giddy every time I drive it. Buttons still click like they are brand new.

That's Lexus.

I'm really happy you promoted the Ford Fiesta ST especially with the added head room needed for the rear passenger's "Hair"😅

[@simo7321]

You have to get a full Bosozoku exhaust, on it?

[@yellow6ird]

Love the Century!!!!

[@CarSauce]

Thank you!

[@Czechbound]

*New Subscriber* : That was great. You're car is fantastic. I'd trust Cult & Classic to buy a car, without hesitation. But I'd have to pay for it to be shipped to here in Europe :) Best of luck with your new machines. All the best and greetings from Prague, CZ

am currently on carsales shopping for one or import it i love it seen about 4 reviews of this century

[@timCole53]

just checked cult and classic cars where all prices end in 90.........Some great buys.

[@netsiteing]

Last year there were plenty of these for sale in the low to mid 20k, and then since few youtube videos by Redriven and another channel, I saw prices went up and I’ve checked and I don’t see any for sale on CarSales 😮 … can these be imported from Japan?

[@b71071]

There are plenty on carsales

[@PM-do2yu]

Perfect black, 6spd with low kms, wool, lace and fender mirrors will always fetch top dollar. Compromise and you’ll save $$$.

That was great! Looking forward to the full review and the other new car! Was that hotel the Moxy? And is it any good?

So whats the deal with the earlier 4 speed vs the later 6 speed? Which is better and why? BTW thanks for a great video!

[@djizzah]

outstanding vehicle, well done

[@TheAyrtons94]

does the rego go off cylinders down there? Owning one in QLD would be a nightmare with rego prices based of cylinders from a time when emissions offset was based off where you owned the XR8 or XR6 so the V12 would be a nightmare with the goverment thinking you owned a lambo.

[@lesklower7281]

You bought one of the best cars and at $30000 so much cheaper than a Rolls Royce but so much better and the cars were you bought your Century very nice and l do see a couple of Toyota Corolla Fielders around

Hi, congratulations on the car, this may be a stupid question, is it possible to update the GPS and the language spoken to English or are you stuck with what it is? Additionally, as far as servicing it (more than just fluids go) do you need to take it to a specialist?

[@PM-do2yu]

Your phone will have far better tech. I left mine alone so the car would remain totally stock. It can be upgraded, but not sure it’s worth the expense or effort.

[@jamesdk5417]

@@PM-do2yu thanks, I didn’t mean upgrade to aftermarket gear, I meant leave it stock but upgrade the software to be in English and have Australian maps.
