used, you could get it rebuilt but then it would probably out last the car. Aused one could last the duration of the cars life span. just be sure to buy their warrenty at the trans yard. As soon as you have it in,if it functions properly have a trans flush done. Then see how it functions if it is ok you'll have decent trans in it just keep up the regular maintance. A power flush of the trans will likely reveal any problems the trans has that didnt show up on initial start up. that way if its faulty you can take it back and exchange for another.
