The cost to repair the converter is not the issue , The cost o repair the damage to your trans if it comes apart thats a diffeent story all together ,When a converter fails many times it will trash the transmission due to contamination ,

True in many cases with a low milage converter it may be fine , As long as the buyer understands that on the off chance there is a problem and the worst happens they have no one to point the finger at but themselves , It is all about acceptable risk

Nothing wrong with used if your dealing with a straight forward seller. Check for feedback on the seller first. If there isn't any I wouldn't do it. If there is good feedback it may be a good deal. It's like a credit rating to determine acceptable risk! There are a lot of guys who just change their setup and are looking to sell the parts they no longer have use for.
