Wheels are std i think. Always had a bit of a soft spot for these - tidy looking cars!

Always had a soft sport for the wheels.

Reminds me of diamond cut rs alloys.

Nice car!

Do these have the Supra's twin turbo engine?

Nope, but the Toyota Aristo (same car) does.

I loved these when they first came out - look pretty sharp for quite an old car now too!

Std wheels but centres have been altered

There was a factory option to upgrade the Rear 8J rims to 10J

Love the looks - but hate that Toyota made it no quicker than standard GS300.Bit of sheep in wolf's clothing

Thanks for your comments people.

The car is the standard Sport.

The rear wheels are the 10" wide option, I had all the wheels diamond cut and re-painted recently, they couldnt cut and polish the original centre caps and TTE who manufacture the Lexus centre caps wanted £56 each! so I went with TTE's own branded caps and got the lot for £70.

It has the grey leather interior, not the gastly brown one.

The car has only covered 75K and I've had it for over 2 years and not had any problems whatsoever.

Its in fantastic condition for a 10yr old car, dont think I'll ever get rid of it!

Nice.
I was a kid when these came out and I've always loved them.
Don't understand why some don't have the wider rears when they look awesome!

That's awesome! I remember a friend having one years ago and giving me a lift to work in it. Really like it then, but now it really appeals! Looks a really nice example too!

How much are these going for nowadays?

Not quite, the Aristo is just the JDM name for the GS300, although the Aristo V300 is the Supra TT'd version.

Let me sell you as many GS300's as you can afford, which at those prices might not be many!!!!

Rough standard example, £1k-£1.5k, tidy Sport, around £3k. You can get 2.5TT Aristo's for circa £2k
