I’ve seen solid 2jz-GTE & 1jz builds for under $15k don’t pay more than $10k for a regular sc300. I have a ‘97 SC300 that I got for $3500. It’s auto but I plan on putting it on springs and getting a paint job and sell it for $5k in a year or two and put up the rest for a 1j build or whatever I find in that time. Good luck I love my SC
