Quote from Japanese Car History Check website (pics they are referring to are uploaded here): "This 1997 Supra RZ-S 6 speed recently turned up for sale at a UK dealer with 90,000 km, advertised as top condition. One of the WORST cases of false advertising we have seen for a Supra to date. As you can see from the original auction report and pics from Nov 2015, when sold in Japan it had no less than 290,000 kms, past repair to the right rear, and faded mismatching paint all over. Based on this information our client cancelled the contract with the dealer and asked for his deposit back (after getting over the shock of the true condition)." Also to be of note, on the attached auction sheet, for some reason the frame number ending is missing, but the way i discovered that it was for this car is looking at the car year and month. By coincidence Toyota made only one RZ-S 6MT 8L5 Hardtop JDM Supra in January of that particular year, so that leaves out any other frames that it could have been.
