This price sounds low to me? If it checks out and you know its mechanically sound and all maintenance is good i'd be jumping at this deal. Most STOCK manual sc's are over this price much less a 1jz swap with more than likely 2000 dollar volk wheels. Have it checked out if its kosher go for it.

Take it man go for it nowww lol. No the 1jzgte is a 2.5l straight 6 twin turbo...they make around 280ps stock. Depending on what's done to it and such it could be a little more could be a little less at the wheels. Very reliable and modification friendly...go for it..like call now wake up him and tell him you want it.

If the swap was done clean and proper and the car has been taken care of this is a potential steal. Look it over thoroughly and take it for a spin. If everything checks out I wouldnt waste too much time contemplating buying it, it could very well be gone within day's.

Those wheels and motor alone are worth damn near what he's asking for the car

Sounds like you're getting a very good friend discount, you won't get another deal like this so you should jump on it.
