Reman is better than rebuilt... better than used.
Used is pretty silly unless you can confirm the mileage on the unit.
Problem is most local trans shops don't know how to rebuild foreign units easily, despite them being VERY simple. There is just not much to the 722.3 I had Cottman do the A341 in my Mother's LS400 and it seems to be doing fine still as it was maybe 3-4 years back. Probably has 50-80k on it by now, not sure. I just service it every 10k with a pan drain of two quarts (the filter is only a 100 micron screen)
I still can't figure out why people get hooked for a reman torque converter either on the MB units. There's no lockup clutch within. I could see if you have excessive spline wear maybe...
