Junkyard Find: 1992 Toyota Cressida

Everyone knows about the Cressidas of the 1980s, but we often forget that Toyota sold Cressidas in North America through the 1992 model year. That means that the Lexus LS400 and Toyota Cressida were available at the same time for three model years, giving Toyota shoppers the choice of two different rear-drive luxury sedans. I can't recall ever seeing a '92 Cressida prior to this one, so here's a super-rare Junkyard Find from Denver.
I was at the junkyard on this trip to pull the digital cluster out of the '84 Cressida, which meant I didn't have a proper camera on me. The affirmations painted on this car's steering wheel, however, show up just fine on a cellphone camera's image.
The V8 in the LS was quieter and more powerful than the L6 in the Cressida, but the 7M was still a reasonably luxurious engine.
83,000 miles? How is that even possible for an early-90s Toyota?
