The V12 Toyota Luxury Car That's Cheaper Than a New Camry: Meet The Truly INSANE Toyota Century! 

Had a great time filming with you guys, can't wait to do the mega! Cheers!

Ultimate jdm vip car. Wat a absolute gem of a car. Watch prices skyrocket.

What I love about RHD is the safety. Head on collisions are the most deadly and traumatic. Most of America's vehicles are occupied by a single person. RHD puts the driver in a spot furthest away from oncoming traffic.

A very rare LHD version of this generation Century exists. They were mostly made for VIP Japanese officials in LHD countries like ambassadors. Although a few private LHD exists.

The build quality on these cars is truly second to none.

Wool breaths, is naturally antimicrobial, and doesn't give you 3rd degree burns in the summer. Leather is from when cars were open and would let rain in, I hate leather seats and sunroofs.

This is my favourite example of a Century I’ve seen on RU-vid. I’m sure the wool seats would be quieter and maybe more comfortable but the keather interior is so much nicer looking imo. Love this colour too. There’s one very similar for sale in Australia that I wish I could afford. Absolutely beautiful car

Nearly every one who dose a review on these end up wanting one. Just shows how good they are .

What more could anyone want?!!! Great review.

“I will take two of your finest mcchickens please” 😂

As these become "classic" cars for tax and insurance purposes over time, I think they will be a great weekend cruiser to enjoy.

Thank you, Brendan, what is it about JDM cars of the 80s and 90s that look like American cars of the 60s and 70s My pea brain congering up V12 5L (=305 cubic inches) vs 7.7L (=472 cubic inches) in my 74 Coupe deville

You didn’t show the passenger seat pass thru for your feet.

Missed the best feature. The hole through the front passenger seat. So you can rest your feet

Please do TFLTalk where you just ride around in the back of a Toyota Century the whole time. Maybe go through Drive-Thrus or have other adventures. Maybe an Uber pick up.

Looks like a tank 👍🏼

heck yeah jacob ffrom vans from japan is awesome. great prices

These are very special cars that were made for very important ($$$$$) officials, dignitaries, etc. That being said imagine trying to get someone to work on it. Finding parts will be a whole lot harder and more expensive than something like a Camry

Chrome front and rear bumpers , ahh the 90's were great !

5.0 L V 12 1GZ is two 2,5 L I 6 1JZ

That really nice looking wood is 100% Japanese plastic

The only thing I miss in this one is wool / cloth interior.

Neat color that isn't black

So funny when the owner doesn't let the reviewer drive it....😆

My dream car. But I wonder how expensive it is to run.

MegaCruiser anyone??

I just bought one. They so cheap now, just wait a few years when all the JDM and Lowrider guys start doing thigs with them. Imagine this on bags lowered, with some sick rims. its sacriledge, but this is america and we love to custom anything lmao.

Very cool car,think if I was going big comfort car Toyota I’d go GS400 lol

20 years ahead of his time

You didn't pull down the foot rest pass through in the front passenger seat.

The advantage of leather, You can refract your farts a lot louder. And they don't get pumped into the seat.

Gorgeous ❤

OK... This is an INSANE car to import into the USA or Canada, because there are absolutely NO parts for the car in North America, and the Century shares very little (even down to minor switch gear) with other Toyotas. This car is a genuine flagship, intended for captains of industry and heads of state. And I know, as I owned one in New Zealand. Mine had been given to the original Toyota NZ importer, and Toyota maintained a minor stock of common-replacement parts for the 5 Centuries that lived on the islands. But that's not the case in North America, and Toyota has stated that the company does not approve of individuals importing these non-coplying vehicles into one of their largest markets. The cars are stunning, made to standards that Mercedes or Rolls Royce can only imagine...but it's not much good if you need a transmission pan gasket and it takes 4 months to get one. Suggesting to your probably-gullible audience that this is a fesible vehicle for regular use is irresponsible.

Full of gadgets yet all are perfectly working after 25 years. That's mind-blowing. My Ford's electric seat motor failed after five years.

When Toyota is more luxurious than a Lexus then something is not right about Lexus

that's the same displacement in a V8 equipped Ford Mustang all be it from a bigger engine and more reliable it being a Toyota though it was never sold here because the US already had a Buick car called the Century and in the 3 generations of production where there are official numbers sold per year available the model sold about 4,000,000 units in the US the only Luxury car that sold more in its production life in the US than that was the Cadillac Deville which sold around 5.25 million units in 46 years in production for the original Deville Coupe Deville etc. and that's the third longest production run in Cadillac's 121 year history behind the Fleetwood 1938-1996 and the Eldorado 1952-2002. oh and The Mustang is the sales leader in its segment having sold around 10 million units in the US since its April 1964 release while the top selling midsize sedan is the Toyota Camry having sold around 15 million units in the US since its Sept 1982 release as a 1983 model

Great car for a funeral parlor

I'd love to buy one if I had some way to repair it, haha.

lettuce or shrubbery? lmao

I like it

Who do you trust to work on that

Cool 🥰

Only in America/Canada can you daily a v12 😂😂

1/300 in that colour

Toyota been importing cars for years dude.

Dang bro. Cheap ?? A chicken and water ?? I hope.u treat ur boyfriends better

this is a beautiful car!!!!

Is it just me or they look lame asf with the normal cat mirrors and non black color it kinda ruins the mafia look

👍💖👍

What a wasted of time! take it to the highway (speed) to taste the flawless.

HAHA $600 alternator is "expensive" Try $1400 for an s-class diesel. I nearly cried once you add in the labor to replace it.

Fantastıc v12🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

I just saw it in Broomfield and wasn’t sure what it was….recognized it immediately on here. So cool

For such a car-oriented country, it’s a shame Americans can’t import anything younger than 25 years. Clearly the 2nd Gen is the one to get. Not only is it the v12, it still has the classic ‘old school’ look of the 1967 one. Buying one? Here’s some tips. Get wool upholstery, fender mirrors, curtains and antimacassars. All Centuries are beautifully painted, but only the black turns the most heads. The Century acquired a silky smooth 6spd in 2005, LED lights and reversing camera a few years later. Can you wait? Who knows? What can be assumed though is that come 2030 prices for excellent, low mileage 6 spd examples will skyrocket

He got a smokin deal at 14k thats the cheapest ive heard of in good condition with that low of miles

They are interesting cars, the previous gen still had power vent windows like a 60's Cadillac. The "I just wanted a comfortable daily driver" statement was kinda funny. This is a lot to go through for just "a comfortable daily driver".

Hello beard. Hello beard. I have a beard, did you notice? I did notice, did you notice I also have a beard? I did notice. Lets touch tips. Lets.

Who could ask for anything more? Toyota Century. yeah! 😎

LOVE IT, wondered what was tops, the Crown or Century. 😢 more spark plugs to replace

Thts really cool car. Never seen one here in Canada. Beautiful Big Heavy Sedan!!! I love it!! Nice car.

Does this car not have the feature where rear passenger can stick his feat through to the front seat?

Great car but that was the most disappointing McDonald's order iv ever seen.

Wanted to know , how was the experience with over 1 year of ownership .... Any issues? Spare parts availability

Buy . Swap the V12 for a 1400 HP 2JZ . Eat Brabus for breakfast.

Benz go along time to 500k miles plus

Kinda cool, but not really... it's the Honda Goldwing of cars.

We get these in Australia a couple for l do think comparing these Toyota Centurys to American cars is sort of wrong in they are probably one of the best luxury car ever made and the right hand drive doesn't bother us because we are a right hand drive country and its the right plsce gor the steering wheel these Toyota Centurys are built do well in there own factory by tradesmen and women

I wonder if the V12 is made from parts bin 4 cylinders Toyota had laying around. The bore and stroke is almost identical to some of the older 1.6L engines

Imagine ordering a Lyft/Uber and minutes later this pulls up...

you've never heard of my ass! you guys keep making videos about these raising the prices, smh

its a upgraded ls400 love it timeless reliable beautiful cars

HAPPY FRIDAY ✌️

Canadian here laughing pretty hard at "it's about 90,000 miles".... dude, it's 61. Barely over 60K miles, you didn't actually check the conversion out?!? Man.

Wow! Didn’t know Toyota could do an actual luxury car.

This car like an elegant Japanese ma’am. Stunning

この高級車に全く似合わないオーナーとナレーター🎉

Nice, but too bad its ugly as sin
