Great price and good luck on the sale. One thing to note, don't expect to rebuild this yourself. I tried to find the parts to do so last summer and could not find a single retailer or company that was willing to sell me all the parts needed to rebuild it properly. Although most of them were more than happy to offer to rebuild it for me.
That just really made me angry! I'm pretty sure an aerospace engineer is more than cabable of handling this task, but apparently they don't feel that way.
The main problem rebuilding these units is the teflon coating on the rotors. It chips off and you either have to replace the rotors or find someone who can recoat the teflon on the damaged rotors. Neither of which is cheap. You can replace all the pulley's and bearings in the unit, but if the coating is still chiped it's pretty pointless since you're losing boost there.
I'm pretty sure the rebuild parts are approx. $450-$500, labor is additional IIRC. Also, in my expierence they need about rebuilt every 50-60k, not 100k.
Good luck with the sale and bump for a decent price.
