Experiences with used OEM window motor
My drivers side window motor on my 2004 has been out for about 3 months now. I've come across someone parting out their Z and selling their used OEM one from a 2005 for $50. My biggest concern is it going out again though because I've read that the earlier models had issues regarding the motors going out.

some used are good. some are not. how would we know the condition of a used one?

There are no new aftermarket motors that I know of. So you take a chance on the $50 motor or buy a rebuilt one at the store with a lifetime warranty. I don't think there were ever any OEM revisions that I've heard of either so there is no old vs. new - it's plain choice of trying to be a little cheaper now vs. getting a warranty. And like the other response said you don't know what you are getting. That salvaged motor may be ready for the rebuild pile too or soon...

I see on http://www.rockauto.com/ there is a difference between the drivers and passenger side. I didn't dig into the warranty
For the price difference I'd go new. If the used one is original. I say the chances are over 50/50 it will go out.
Good luck.
