Buy a complete car. This is a way of buying a car that matches the current era!
It may sound a bit wild, but if you were to install all the parts on this 16ARISTO by yourself, you would have to spend a lot of money. Aero parts cost about 300,000 yen, wheels about 50,000 yen, and dampers about 100,000 yen. The total cost is about 450,000 yen. Of course, there is also the labor cost for installation.
When VIP was a minor dress-up type in Japan, there were few used cars that were already dressed up. So the only way was to buy a stock car and customize it. However, it is different now. There are many complete cars that have been dressed up in this way. Nowadays, the mainstream is to buy such cars and modify them to your own taste.

Based on the late model S300 VERTEX EDITION, its potential is not to be underestimated!
Let’s stop talking about customization and talk about the performance of this 16ARISTO, which is based on the 2000 S300 VERTEX EDITION and is powered by a NA engine instead of the turbo V300 favored by tuning enthusiasts, but it is more than fast enough. At the time of its debut, the 16ARISTO was said to be the fastest sedan in Japan, and it has the potential to live up to its name.
The 16ARISTO comes in both early and late models, with the 2000 model being the late model. Compared to the earlier model, the S300 has been brushed up in various areas, and the transmission in particular has evolved greatly. The transmission is a 5-speed specification from the later model. Incidentally, the immobilizer is also equipped from the later model.
VERTEX EDITION is a special edition of the 16ARISTO with a sporty finish. The major difference from the standard version is the black interior color. At that time, beige or gray was the most common interior color for luxury sedans. This black interior was extremely rare.
Stock grille of later model
The shape of the grille is different between the early and late model. The fins are thicker on the later model, giving it a more powerful impression.
Genuine steering wheel of later model
The T mark on the steering wheel is chrome, which is also a sign of the later model.
ECLIPSE navigation system
The navigation system is an ECLIPSE system, capable of DVD playback and Bluetooth audio compatibility.
