If there are no lights on the dash (check engine light) and the body doesn't have too many miles, because an older body means worn rubber bushings such as the engine/transmission mounts, and more probably the control arm bushings and other rubber suspension components. These can be time-intensive to replace and so tend to be a bit pricey even though the parts themselves are very cheap. End verdict: If the price is right, go for it.

well, this is old but can you update this with a pic? I highly believe this is not real because in 05 they introduced the 2GR motor which is a 3.5 and a COMPLETELY different design from the 95-04 motor which is a 1MZ. Double check it.
