Default Would you use a used oil cooler?

The oil cooler has been confirmed by Looper as having a leak that is not repairable (if I were even inclined to do so). Now I need a replacement. A new oil cooler is $900 in the best case (that I could find). What is the collective wisdom of the group about going with a used cooler (after it is checked out and cleaned)?

Slowly making progress on the maintenance tasks, did the valve adjustment this afternoon. Going to remove the fan and housing tomorrow so I can take all the bits in to be powdercoated. Having fun getting things cleaned up (and using the proane heater a lot).
