Brian,

Overlapping posts here.

I hear what you're saying. Crap shoot with a used.

I've got 217,000 on the body and engine. Overall it's mechanically sound and I hope to get at least another 100K.

A rebuild from his guy will run $2700 and he will stand behind it, but for how long? It could be very good insurance against defects to pay a little extra.
