Climate control: Used vs. Rebuilt

W124. E420 1995

My heater stopped working. A friend loaned me his climate control, and magic all works fine. Now to get a climate control for myself.

Used climate controls straight from the car and 'rebuilt' climate controls seem to be available.

But what could be done to make the rebuilt better? The climate control unit is all plastic, and if taken apart may just break. So what could the rebuilding guys do to improve the unit?

Thanks.

I'll shell out the money, if there really is a difference.

We are talking $50 vs. $150
