1995 Chaser 2.0 Litre Automatic

[Saturn Simon]

Hi everyone,

Currently I am considering purchasing a 1995 Toyota Chaser X90 2.0 litre automatic. It is the "Avante Lordly" model (I did laugh out loud when I saw the badges on the back - I love the crazy names of Japanese market cars!).

I understand it is rear wheel drive, has a 2.0 litre 6 cylinder (a straight 6 I believe??), that the X90 was made between 1992 and 1996, and that the Lordly is a relatively high spec model.

However, this is all I have learned so far as it seems to be a nightmare finding detailed specifications for the Chaser X90 on the internet. Please could you folks help me out?

I would like to know some more detailed specifications, including power and torque output, performance and economy figures, exterior dimensions etc.... Specifically for the 1992-96 Chaser X90 2.0 automatic.

Also, does anyone have any buying advice about these cars? Any specific problem areas to look out for, etc?

Thanks very much! :)

Hi Simon; Not sure if you bought the car in the the end, but ill tell you my experiences with a Mark II (similar to a chaser).

You should be able to find it on the list here.

Mine was a 1991 model, so slightly older but the engine was the same 1G-FE unit.

I had no problem areas as such and absolutely loved the car.

nice smooth engine, only problem with the AT was that on small hills the over drive had to be switched off to keep momentum. MPG 32-35 which i found acceptable for a car and engine this size.

Only problem i had was that the exhaust had to come from Japan and took 2 weeks.

Had to sell the car when 18 years old as the brake and fuel pipes were getting rusty and it would cost too much to replace. so that is worth looking out for. it was the area where the pipes run just in front of the rear wheel (nearside i think).

BUt apart form that you will have a good car, asnd something different. I had mine for 8 years. would have another one tomorrow but then would put LPG on it. LOL.

my local dealer was able to supply parts too !! just quote the number on the vin plate: GX90-ATPQK or similar.

if you want more info PM me and i can give you my phone number.

good luck
