Default 2jzgte Twin Turbo V Vti Bluetop Swap

Hey Guys,
Alright, I need to sell my car but not getting any good offers.
My friend has a 2JZGTE bluetop sitting in his shop.
How much do you think I could get for my car with just the swap or
would I have to invest in a intercooler, exhaust, etc to get fair value?

Thanks!

I'm trying to understand. you can't sell your car so being that your buddy has a blue top engine you are thinking that swapping it in and than selling it will make it easier to sell your car and for more money? is that right?

You are definately better off selling the car and engine separately. You really shouldnt have a problem selling the car, but the prices on these have been coming down. GL with the sale

Leave it alone and sell them seperate. More $$$$ and easier to sell.
