86.5 for $700

First responce: NO

Second responce: Why? Because you don't know where the hell that engine even came from. A good rule of thumb when trying to buy something broke down. Is to not buy something torn apart from head to toe.

Sure the big parts are there. But what about the small parts that make the big parts actually work.

You don't want the headache unless you have previous experience in the supra.
And then it's questionable.

You'll spend a couple hundred bucks on nuts and bolts. You don't know how long it's been torn apart or anything.

Then it's an 86.5. Those models are cars that only a first owner can love man. That car has two of everything so you have to order twice the parts from toyota because you don't know what you have. Maybe not for everything but there will be times like that.

I'm trying to think of reasons why you should spend 700$ on a whip in 3 pieces, lol. There isn't one.

I hope this helps.
