Why is this so cheap?

Lexus ISF Engine & Gearbox 

Something seems a little strange, engine has only done "5000" miles. Looks somewhat clean though.

£5500 is not cheap in my world, and that is the minimum price the seller is expecting.

In the grand scheme of things, it's a bargain. Especially when gearbox replacements are $9k+

It will be interesting to see if someone gets it for £2k. Can't be that many people looking for an F engine at any one point in time.

This’ll be it’s second time round, it went for £3750 last time although I imagine it’s being pushed up by people, considering how many F’s are in the U.K. I’d imagine this isn’t going to be easy to shift......plus I’d be wary of anything out of barking

The engine from the ex Humberside police car that was written off last year was sold for around £5k and was shipped to the buyer in  Dubai I believe! So the market is spread far and wide.

Did anyone here get it? Sold for the starting price, £2k.

I didn't bother. Got the tape measure out, it wasn't going to fit in my daughter's Yaris 😉
