Toyota Crown

I’ve been looking at getting one of these but can’t find too much info. Has anyone driven one or what should I look out for before purchasing?

That's a big price for a non turbo.

Models with the turbo JZ are very desirable and command decent money because of it.

I don't know if your into modified cars but most of these are owned by people that are so you do need to pay attention that the car has gotten quality parts fitted competently. Once it's well put together they are very reliable. The suspension and running gear uses a lot of Lexus parts so is relatively easily available and the engine in those cars is one of the best engines ever built in turbo guise.

Electronics etc are all classic 90s Japanese quality, very very good.

A much prettier imho aristo with the twin turbo lump for 6€k .
I ran a stock enough 6 speed manual twin turbo supra previously and not a problem with it drove it daily with a big grin on my face.

Dream car still if I can save for another toy

There is a fair amount of wear on that Aristo's leather seat and steering wheel for something with only 115k km on the clock but then again the odometer on most Japanese imports is impossible to believe unless you get the auction sheet with it.

V300 aristo would be a far better bet as said above.

Try importing direct through the likes of jdm auction watch. Prices for the big jzx saloons are massive at the moment
