Unless its a crazy good deal I would not get a turbine that's out of warranty. If you do happen to purchase it I would send it in for service just to make sure everything is good. If it has a bearing issue from sitting so long it would get real expensive real fast if it takes out the compressor or turbine blades.

Especially when buying from a friend I want to make sure to be fully aware of any issues or concerns relative to the engine itself so once I buy it, if any issues do come up that's on me. Is there anything to be concerned about with this engine or does this engine have a solid and reliable track record?

Thanks
