What's it like to own a JDM '98 Toyota Corona Premio?

I recently bought a JDM '98 Toyota Corona Premio and I’m so happy with it. The car is in great condition, has low mileage and a good maintenance history. The price was a bit higher than I expected, but it was worth it. My only concern is finding parts, but I’ve heard it’s not too hard to find what I need.


How much did you end up paying for it and what kind of maintenance have you had to do so far? I’ve been looking into importing a JDM car and I’m curious to know more about your experience.

I’ve always been fascinated by JDM cars and this one looks amazing. Does it have a V6 engine or is it a 4 cylinder? Also, how do you like the interior?

The Corona had a range of engine options, but the '98 Premio usually came with a 2.0L or 2.2L inline-four. The interior is really nice, I love the design and comfort. It’s a great car for daily driving.
