Secondly the 2jz is not the predecessor of the 7m the m series is a totaly diffrent group, The 2jz is the predecessor of the 1jz basicly its a bigger 1jz you can use the 1jz head on the 2jz block if you want which is called a 1.5jz. Third the rings did NOT leak and 55k for that car if it was babied its whole life is a lil high yes but its very much worth it.
KTHXBYE
Yeah you are right about the 1JZ, hard to believe I forgot about it being that I had one.  However they both came after the 7M. Therefore the M proceeded the JZ even if they are different motor groups, they are still based on the same straight 6 design. That was my line of thinking.
I still say it's not worth 55k even if it was babied. For that much it should have decent mods done to it, not stock.
I'd rather have this one. web page
It's 4 years older but the miles are close, however it has a mod list that should balance out a bit of the age difference. Buy it now for 36,500. The dealership may get 55k for that one though. After all a car is worth only what someone will pay for it.
