I just purchased a 1991 GTT-L from Japan, has yet to arrive but I am anxiously awaiting it!

http://www.japan-partner.com/Auto/26408/Toyota/SOARER/car-for-sale.html

That is a link to the sale ad if anybody wants to see it, I am super stoked!! If somebody feels like chiming in with stuff I need to check on it when it arrives I would appreciate it. I plan on going over the car with a fine toothed comb anyway but its nice to know what warrants special attention. It supposedly only has 24000 miles on it so I am hoping it doesn't need much.

I think its an old ass GPS, I see a control pad and a power supply for it over on the passenger side of the console. And no at least from a legal standpoint, once things turn 25 all US safety laws no longer apply. I might have a bit more trouble relearning to drive, lol. Its also going to make the drive thru runs a test of my reversing skills but hey, should be entertaining at the least.

If you don’t mind, can I ask what you paid for the car in Japan and total cost landed in the US?

I’m intrigued as the values of other imports like R32 Skyline’s have increased since the 25 year rule opened up and there was a flood of new demand from the USA.

Soarer prices in Oz are at rock bottom at the moment. $1-3k for an earlier model (Series 1 & 2). $4-7k for a nice late model (Series 3).

Thanks!! I just got word it will be arriving in Long Beach on 11/13 I am super excited. Kyle I don't know if you got it but I tried to PM you on price. I just didn't want what I paid for it getting around in case I go to sell it. Once you post something on the internet, google will forever tell on you! lol.

Yep, got it and understand not wanting to display it to the world. Thanks.

Looks like a great car and well worth the money. I travel to the states to see family once a year, hope to see more Soarers out and about now under the 25 year rule!

This forum has a huge amount of resources on the JJZ30 you will find very handy.

Well I finally got it, and it's everything I hoped for! However the sorry about Trump was supposed to be a joke, it lost its humor on the 8th...
