Depends where you live. For most, that's a good or great buy. They'll be others that'll chime in they somehow find them for less. Around here, with that mileage if it's complete with wireharness and PCM that's a great buy.

I am deciding between the LQ9 that's $1200 or there's an L33 for under a grand at a junkyard with a 90 day warranty.
LQ9- larger cubes and more power
L33- Has the better rods and floating pistons and still 24X reluctor for my already modded ecm and engine wiring.
I just will be adding a small cam for a bit of the lope and gain some power for my 55 Chevy hot rod project.
