Pole Position
well if you want more horsepower outta the factory just go with the ISF. but finding a 2010 isf with ~48k miles selling for $29k will be pretty extremely hard to find and pretty sure no one would sell it for 29k (i could be mistaken) but assuming you do then, you dont want FBO (headers, exhaust, intake, tune cause you would want 'factory reliable hp' ?

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with it, specially with the rare 5-liter, which will leave me shirtless if it needs lots or work or replacement. I think 2010 around 50K is very realistic, more so older ones. There are even a few 2011+ here for sale in low to mid 30's that I'm sure would be given away for 29K.

808newbie, high milage 2007 is250 can be had for $8K, GTE motor with tranny for $2K, labor $5K, shipping to HI $1K. So with around $16K you can get yourself a 2nd gen IS with turbo, not as nice as this one here but nonetheless.

5k in labor to have a 2jz GTE running in an IS250 with all necessary systems intact like this one has? I don't think so....

From OP first post:
"It made 626HP at the wheels on E85 ethanol. It is currently set at 570whp and is plenty fast. I can retune the car on pump gas if the new owner would like. Just let me know.
Here is a list of the main upgrades the car has:
Complete 2JZGTE VVT-I Aristo V300 Engine and Transmission Swap
AEM Series 2 Standalone ECU
Master Power 67mm Billet Turbocharger
Tial 46mm Wastegate
Tial 50mm Blow Off Valve
Front Mounted Transmission Cooler
"
Kitabel, he's running stock aristo tranny with 570HP, you think the front mounted transmission cooler is the only thing that keeps tranny from being blown?
