Great opportunity to own a future classic! Fully legal with a clean New Jersey title, I purchased this car in Japan in the summer of 2022 and had it stored there for about a year until it was available for import into the US in early 2023.

While this car is a fairly nice example of a more than 25 year old car, there's still some deficiencies which should be pointed out. The car will absolutely need new tires, the special order TOM's Racing rims could use a powder-coating (but that's more aesthetics). The car was re-painted at some point but still shows really nicely after a detail, there are some rust areas appearing under the door areas where the sunroof drains. When the car first arrived I had a brake caliper and I believe new pads put on along with a tune up, and new coil packs Mechanically the car drives well and has a nice exhaust note. There have been no modifications done to the vehicle during my ownership and it doesn't appear to have been any prior to mine outside of an upgraded head-unit (which can play music from an iPhone). Interior is clean but shows some wear around the steering wheel and driver's side floor mats. There doesn't seem to be any tears or signs of heavy wear and tear. All lights and buttons function as expected (besides the HVAC for A/C). This is a rare chance to get a fully documented and legal Japanese imported 1998 Toyota Celica SS-III without all the import headaches and crazy documentation requirements. Simply take the NJ title to the MVC and get on the road today!
