Toyota Century Submodels
The Toyota Century debuted in 1967 as Japan's ultimate luxury vehicle, a role it has held for over 50 years. Built for corporate executives and government officials, the Century prioritized supreme comfort and discretion over flashy performance. Its styling remained famously conservative through generations, creating a timeless and stately presence that is unique among luxury sedans.
Collectors are drawn to the Century's status as a JDM icon, particularly the G50 generation (1997-2017) which features Japan's only production V12 engine, the 5.0-liter 1GZ-FE. These cars were largely hand-assembled with incredible attention to detail, often featuring wool cloth interiors and soft-close doors. Its exclusivity, understated luxury, and right-hand drive configuration make it a standout at any car show.
Buying Tips
- The G50's 1GZ-FE V12 is generally reliable, but check for a complete service history as specialized maintenance can be expensive. Test all complex electronics, from the power curtains to the massaging rear seats.
- The factory air suspension is a known weak point. Check that the system holds air, doesn't sag at any corner, and responds correctly to height adjustments.
- Inspect the signature wool cloth interior for stains, tears, or sun fading. Finding original material for repairs is extremely difficult.
- As with any older JDM vehicle, inspect the underbody, wheel wells, and chassis rails for rust, especially on cars from regions with harsh winters.
