Default RE: Turbine life expectancy

I'm thinking of getting a second hand JetCat turbine for a project of mine and turbine reliability is of paramount importance. How long do these turbines last on average?

A typical used jetcat engine is about $500 cheaper than a new one, so if turbine reliability is of paramount importance why not spend a little more and buy a new one with guarantee and full hours life expectancy? In a used turbine even if it is in great shape, a small detail like a damaged solenoid or a defective pump could ruin your whole modeling investment.
