Default how much can I sell my full powertrain setup? engine,transmission,rearend.

I bought a 98 blk/blk gs400 with 216,xxx(now 219) miles after buying I put on brand new starter(which it needed) has a new alt within last year, then had full timing belt service with all oem parts, water pump,thermo, cam seals, crank seals, timing belt,tensioners, recent oil change, transmission change, rearend change. Everything runs like a top motor idles so quiet and transmission shifts smooth. Burns zero oil and does not smoke surprisingly with mileage. Havent done leakdown test but wanting to sell:engine,transmission,driveshaft, and rear end. Only one issue at all is a leaky power steering pump. I got a hook up on a very low mileage setup. So curious what I should ask. Its all in the car still, being used as my daily.

The bigger question is if the power train is in such perfect condition then why would you sell? Are you sure the VVT-I "cam" seals were done? I have done my own OEM timing belt with all the tensioners / pulleys too, but I certainly didn't tear out the cams to do those two seals. That would have certainly doubled the time for that job!

Anyway I have a full OEM set of brand new motor and trans mounts if you or anyone else needs them at a great price.
Heres the Link,

If it is a very low mileage setup, chances are the timing belt/water pump hasn't been replaced, nor has any of the other stuff you had done.
