Looking for a Toyota Aristo JZS160 for sale in the US? This 2001 Toyota Aristo JZS160 S300 Vertex Edition is a clean, well-maintained JDM sedan, legally imported from Japan under NHTSA’s 25-year import exemption and ready for its next owner.

Why This Toyota Aristo JZS160 For Sale Stands Out

The Aristo JZS160 is the Japanese-market twin of the Lexus GS300, built on the same platform and sharing the same 2JZ-derived 3.0L VVT-i inline-six. In Japan, the Aristo was positioned as Toyota’s flagship performance sedan, offering a level of engineering and refinement that rivaled — and in some trims exceeded — its export counterpart. A genuine Toyota Aristo JZS160 for sale in the US market is uncommon, which is part of what makes this car appealing to collectors and daily drivers alike.

This Toyota Aristo JZS160 for sale spent its entire life with a single owner in Japan before being legally imported.

Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain

Power comes from Toyota’s 3.0L VVT-i Twin Cam 24-Valve inline-six, an engine celebrated for its smoothness and long-term durability when properly maintained. It’s paired with a factory automatic transmission, tuned for comfortable cruising, fitting the Aristo’s character as a luxury-oriented performance sedan.
