Similarly, any vehicle over 25 years old can be legally imported to the United States according to the NHTSA, meaning that these vehicles do not have to comply with federal emissions and safety standards. As a result, all model years of the Sera are eligible as of 2021. Despite this, however, the Sera cannot be legally registered in some jurisdictions such as California until the vehicle has been heavily modified to meet state emission standards, due to California having more strict smog regulations than other states in the United States as well as "visual inspection" rules.

There were also a large number of additional factory options available across the entire production run. Phase I (March 1990 – May 1991) The initial build and the majority of the Sera's total production (around 12,000 of the 15,852 or so cars produced) featured: beige/tan interior or greyish blue depending on exterior colour bayonet fuel filler cap hard-wearing ribbed and woven seat material Phase II (May 1991 – June 1992) Around 2,300 cars of this second trim were produced featuring: pastel pattern in the main sections of the seats with tan/greyish bolsters depending on interior colour screw-type fuel filler cap different seat materials Phase III (June 1992 – December 1995) 1,550 of the final version of the Sera were manufactured, featuring: grey interior with seat fabrics that have a secondary colour to complement the exterior colour some engine component revisions side impact beams in the doors optional airbags (which may have been automatically accompanied by ABS) three-point rear seat belts (Some very early Phase 3 models had standard lap belts) stronger door struts to compensate for the side impact beams solid plastic spoiler with LED high-level brake light incorporated (the only external change to the Sera) The Phase III Sera also featured a limited edition model, the Amlux, named after Toyota's flagship building in Tokyo.
