If it includes the TPI intake and electronics, its worth a grand. I personally wouldn't sell mine that cheap, but its up to you.

Why are you considering selling it?

im only even thinking about selling it because i crashed my car, and am parting the whole thing out. up untill now i was planing on keeping the motor, building it up and droping it into another car. if i sell it i want to get a fair price. you think 1000 is too low? im starting to think i should get at least 1200.
