question about JDM 1jz-gte engine age

basically what you are seeing is a 40 k motor that has been removed from a JDM car and was sold to a US company that resales them. 1JZ is not a really wanted motor everyone wants 2JZ's, or RB26DETT or SR20det's. So this is the reason for the 1900 dollars. What site did find this one at I wouldnt recommend the one I got mine from. Also be leery if it in Japan and needs to imported because it is gonna cost for shipping across the ocean and shipping to your house and then you have to pay for customs and such this can run a bit high. I think total I paid 1900 for my clip, then 700 for shipping, 70 for storage, 45 for customs. So like 3 grand kinda sucks but once you drive it you will like what you got. But as for what you are looking at you will get a motor the ECU the tranny and the wireing harness for the ECU connections. It is better to buy a clip because you will get some sensors that way and also all the connectors you need under the dash.
