6000 is a good price, all the work put in on this sc & 5spd swapped. Good platform.

I'd trade my 97 5spd for yours just because I want a V8.

your sc is very clean, if your shooting for 6k though i would post it for 8.5k, people will try to negotiate with you regardless of a great price or not, if anything you could make some extra $

I would say somewhere around $5200-$5600 will get it sold real easily. Very rare manual V8 1UZ SC fully completed is very compelling. It's very sad to see you leaving ...I guess I've technically left as well though lol

I wanted to throw an idea out there for you... It would be awesome if you imported an old 1st Gen Aero-top Soarer and did the V8 5-spd swap... Then you could keep that Soarer site you run, just evolve it- and by having a rare car you would bring alot of interest to your business, and the 5-speed swaps.

There is a large gap between a person commenting on how cool or nice a car is and asking to buy it.

What percentage of this site does it's own labor? Far less than those who go to their local mechanic or dealership. Having a manual swap that isn't supported by Toyota would be a huge turn-off for anyone that pays labor. This leaves you in the tuner car market where most people would want a 300.

In my opinion your best option would be a trade + cash for a stock SC after which sell traded SC. This is a roundabout method but would be the easiest giving the fans you have.

The other option is a part-out for cash + stock parts. Transform the car to almost stock and sell it for 3-4k.

Dude I will be mad if you let it go for a penny less than 6k. A stock SC that clean would cost at least 3-4k.
