Thank you so very much!

Well my issue is I am trying to save money incase when Grandmother dies I need to support myself (only has 3 months). However, you do have an interesting point in that if I went with used or rebuilt, I might have issues where I am even in a worse bind.

I looked, and a new pump is $400. Used is $150 and then still might need new bearings at $100. Rebuilt is $300. I will give my supplier a letter and see what the cost is through him.
