So as uni grows closer, I'm yet stuck in the same position I always seem to be in every year. I have a whole load of unfinished projects and a whole bunch of car parts lying around the backyard.

 

I have a smashed up rolla, and coming into its 3rd year, my cressida project. Unfortunatly I havent had the drive to continue on with the cressida as it has been a massive hole in my wallet and a complete drain on my tollerance of ever being roadworthy again.

 

Basicly, I have a 7MGTE with a spun bearing laying around which I have grown tired of looking at. Complete with a poor excuse for a wiring loom, all ingiters, GTE ecu, CT26 Turbro, a flywheel (I spent a while tracking down I might add) with fresh new factory flywheel bolts I orders from Toyota, and a 3" exhaust manifold which had a nice note to it.

 

Its time for it to depart my backyeard to some useful hands. Question is, how much do I ask for it? I have found they are a rare motor to find by themselves these days as most normal people go along with a 1j conversion.

 

Help me out guys! I need some sort of indication of the amount of $$$s I should be getting for this.

A complete running 7mgte is usually around 1200 - 1500 with loom ecu bellhousing etc. That's a good condition one with a clean loom etc.

 

One needing a rebuild will drop that price considerably, 6-7-800 maybe.

spun bearing, I think even the above esimate is a little optimistic.

 

Just because people prefer a 1jz does not make them rare, it makes them a good motor to avoid.
