A couple of years ago I found a power steering pump for my Legacy in a salvage yard. Came with a warranty:
Twenty-four hours.
As it happened, it performed flawlessly and was certainly worth the twenty five or thirty bucks I paid, considering what a new one would have cost. But it's indeed true that buying used mechanical parts is a gamble, and one must in each instance weigh the monetary savings against the near-certainty that that part's lifetime will be abbreviated, as compared to new.
