Default Looking to buy 1JZ swapped SC300

So I have stumbled upon a 1992 SC300 with a full 1JZ swap. It has a single turbo on it and a few other mods. I'm not very familar with these cars or the 1JZ. I had a LS400 for a while and really liked it. I'm looking for a fun car that I could rip around town as well as drive to work once in a while.

JDM 1jzgte swap
6 puck clutch
MKIV 550cc injectors
255lph fuel pump
T3 flanged XS stainless manifold
T61 turbo
4" intercooler
Custom 3" intercooler piping
Tial style BOV
HKS 40mm wastegate
Cusco Catch can
3" downpipe, and 3" exhaust split to dual 2 ¼" mufflers. Very quiet, and clean looking.

Electronics:
Prosport full sweep, peak and hold gauges. Tachometer, water temp, oil pressure, and boost
Apexi RSM
Greddy Profec A boost controller
Greddy Emanage
PLX M300 Wideband O2 Gauge
Factory Nackamachi 10 disc cd changer

What would be a good number to value this car at? The chassis has 200,000 miles on it. The engine has 60k on it. It is a 5 speed manual transmission. The car has been repainted and the door jams and engine bay were left the factory color. Garnett Red. The exterior is sunburnt orange.

Should I be concerned with the high mileage on the chassis?

Almost all swaps I have seen have high mileage on the chassis.
Outside of making sure the drivetrain and electronics are good, Make sure the front end is tight at high speed, make sure everything works. Pretty much everything else on the chassis that goes due to mileage is easily replaceable.
If there is a shop specializing in performance/swaps, let them check it for you.

Any idea on pricing? He is at about $6500. I think that is a bit high considering the car has a re-spray and they didn't do the jams or under the hood. So it might be a cheapy.

Interested to see how it turns out. I'm also in the market for one of these. Would love to know what problems to look for

I sold my 1992 with a 1JZ swap for 11K. Always offer low and go up from there. Worst case scenario the owner can say no.

It tends to annoy sellers if you offer them half or something else totally nuts.

What tranny is it? r154 or w58? That will make a big difference.
