Buy a used clutch and/or flywheel?
I've seen a lfew people selling used clutches and was wondering if anyone had input on buying used clutches or flywheels. Thoughts?

well, unlike many parts, clutches do have a life. You might get lucky and get one new in the box or barely used. On the other hand, you could be buying a paper weight

Not for me, on top of Z1's comment clutch life can be shortened by a huge amount by abusing it. I've seen some fs posts listing "only xxxx" miles on it, but that really doesn't mean **** if you got someone that slipped the hell out of it for those xxxx miles. I'm sure there are some deals out there, but you just can't ever tell.

A flywheel on the other hand is a different matter, as many can be resurfaced.

...and used clutch involves a good chunk of labor. So If you're paying someone to do the work... Besides who wants to go through the trouble anyway when you can place a brand new one back on and not have to worry about it for 70k+ more miles.
Again just too many what-ifs
