Default RE: Cheap turbines??

Be careful buying used turbines! If you don't know the person well, even if they're honest and straight up, you could still find yourself in a lose-lose situation. $1050 sounds cheap for an engine, but not if you only get a few minutes of run time out of it before you have to send it in to an aftermarket repair facility that may charge some arbitrary price to fix an out-of-production engine. If you buy an engne (and especially if you're on a budget), get something current! Somehow, this statement seems to offend some Ram owners, but it's not meant to. It applies to any engine whose manufacturer/warrantor and service department has ceased to be. Get the seller to agree to a buyback if it's found to have issues when/if you send it in somewhere, at least.
