1998 Toyota Chaser, Tourer V JZX100

is distinguishable only to enthusiasts, finished in White Pearl (057), and set off only by OEM rainguards, a rear spoiler, and a set of sleek aftermarket 5 spoke wheels. The firebreathing turbocharged I6 under the hood tells a different story entirely. These super sedans are beloved performance powerhouses, and with 76k verified and documented miles on the clock, this cherry example is barely broken in. Timeless, well-crafted, and perfect for decimating mountain passes, this JZX100 is a textbook Japanese Classic! The cabin condition is above-average, and one of the nicest we’ve seen on this chassis. The previous owner went through lengths to preserve it, as even the plastic door card protectors are intact around the kick panels. The craftsmanship is a cut above out of the box, too. The seats are upholstered in a plush patterned cloth, and the dash and door cards boast soft-touch vinyl that’s yet to succumb to unwanted cracks, fading, or distortion. The center stack boasts OEM optional carbon accent trim, unique to Tourer models. The factory audio lies adjacent to an easy to use climate control system, where cold A/C and hot heat are available in droves. To make daily driving a stress-free affair, power windows, locks, and power folding mirrors are on hand to assist the driver. The pilot also benefits from a tilt and telescoping steering column to maximize comfort behind the wheel, and dual front and side SRS airbags. The rear seat is spacious enough to comfortably fit multiple passengers, and it doesn’t compromise any trunk space if you have extra cargo to lug around. The condition is hard evidence that this cabin was cared for in a prior life, and we think the next owner is bound to agree. Under the bonnet is one of Toyota’s best powerplants. Dual-engineered with Yamaha, the 1JZ-GTE is a raucous, responsive, and most of all reliable engine. It’s easy to turn a wrench on, and our trained technicians have given this one a comprehensive service to get you on track for the road ahead. A new 12V battery was installed to aid ignition, and this JZX100 is fresh off an oil and filter service. To keep the lubricant internal, the valve cover gasket was replaced for good measure. A new serpentine belt was installed to reliably drive your accessories, and with the maintenance performed, this 2.5t runs right as rain. With a punchy powerband, it scoots up to highway speeds with urgency, and an automatic gearbox does a swell job at putting power down to the rear wheels. It shifts smoothly, and gear changes are intuitive. The chassis benefits from new coilovers installed on all four corners, and this JZX aced state inspection. The power steering is light and on point, and the ABS brakes stop on command. The aftermarket alloys are wrapped in fresh rubber, and to cap everything off, a fresh alignment was performed on the rack by our very own! Tun key and ready to rock, this sedan would make for a killer daily driver, fun weekend cruiser, or dedicated drift taxi!
