well, without knowing options (heated seats, sunroof, traction control, etc), body condition, and interior condition; nada says about 8k.

Then take the cost of your upgrades, divide by two, and add it to the total. An enthusiast may pay more but i would say that's a good estimate

From the list it looks like a pretty sweet car. I'd say start high and see what happens.

We need more pics of it to give you good estimate, engine bay pics would help out a lot.

yes it is adams old car... i havent swapped my 1jz in yet... so theres really not much to see under the hood... I just have the motor and all the extra parts sitting around... debating if it'd be worth it to finish the swap during my free time or just part out the swap and sell the car...

I'd be curious to see what your car is worth as well... mine is in the same situation as yours... basically same exact parts, options, and I have a 1JZ waiting to be installed in the next few weeks with a very similar setup

It's all about demand. If you post it for sale with no genuine rush to sell, then eventually an interested buyer will come around committing to the price you wish for it to be departed. I have seen similar set ups to ours sell starting from 16k and down, depending of course of condition of interior/exterior/motor, upgraded turbo(s), electronics, suspension, rims, a/v equipment, etc.

Personally I'd say start at at least 13 after paint job and swap. See how it goes from there, it won't hurt. Good luck, would hate to see another SC go.
