Toyota Celsior 2nd Gen listings 47 for sale now
The second-generation Toyota Celsior (UCF20/21) represents the peak of Japan's bubble-era engineering. As the domestic version of the Lexus LS 400, it shares the same legendary build quality and reliability. The 1995-1997 models featured an updated 1UZ-FE V8 with 261 hp, while the 1998-2000 facelift models gained VVT-i, boosting output to 290 hp and adding a 5-speed automatic. It's this later version that collectors prefer.
These cars are highly regarded for their bank-vault quietness and serene ride, especially when equipped with the factory air suspension. While many have been modified for the VIP scene, collectors are increasingly searching for stock, low-mileage examples. The 25-year import rule has made them an accessible and reliable entry point into 90s JDM luxury ownership, offering a different flavor than its Lexus sibling.
Buying Tips
- Check for a complete service history, specifically for the timing belt and water pump. This is a critical maintenance item on the 1UZ-FE engine, due every 90,000 miles or 10 years.
- Inspect the instrument cluster and climate control LCD screens for failing pixels or total blackout, which is a common issue and difficult to repair.
- On models with factory air suspension, ensure the car sits level and doesn't sag. Listen for the compressor running excessively, as this signals a leak. Many owners convert to coilovers, so check for quality parts if the car isn't on air.
- Look for leaks from the power steering pump and valve cover gaskets, as these are common oil leak sources on high-mileage examples.
- Test all electronic features, including the power-folding mirrors, steering column adjustment, and seat controls, as repairing these systems can be complex.
