Notes as recorded
On sale 31 October 1991 (Toyota lists E-JZS147-BEPVZ 3.0V and -BEPQF 3.0Q). Catalogue's last 1st-generation period ends August 1997, when the JZS16x replaced it (27 August 1997). | Crown Majesta (S140 Crown Majesta (1st generation), 3.0 2JZ-GE A-type S): Toyota's Majesta catalogue lists E-JZS147 for the A-type S from October 1992. The same JZS147 code is used by the first-generation Toyota Aristo 3.0 (sister car), so the code alone does not tell the two apart. Start/end shown are the earliest/latest across both models. Start and end: sale date; production date not published.

The 25-year line is the NHTSA age exemption for a vehicle not built to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (49 CFR 591.5(i)), counted from the date of manufacture. The 21-year line is the EPA exemption on Form 3520-1, counted by calendar year and limited to a car in its original configuration.
Eligibility is decided by the specific car’s build date on its plate, not by the chassis code and not by the model year. Two cars of the same code can sit on different sides of the line.
