Price-wise it is a fair deal.
I'd want to make sure that the supporting parts are included (shouldn't be a problem) and obviously make sure that there is no free spinning, or side to side play. . The housing should be free of cracks, and make sure that the mounting/pulley threads are not stripped or damaged in any way. Check the impeller edges and make sure that they are not "messed up" from any internal dirt or other debris.
If you are able / allowed check the drive gears by removing the oil (or grease, not sure) injector, drain the plug and look at the gears thoroughly (you may want to bring a flashlight) If there are any metal shavings or broken teeth, be aware that is cause for concern.
In addition you may want to check the oil (Grease?) injector. There is normally a screen in the inside, just be sure it is reasonably clean and not clogged.
Good luck, and keep us posted,
John

Fare deal(nothing special) if it dosed need rebuilt and the miles are not to high.
That's about the going rate for them in good shape!
You do know you will need to spend around $2500. more for the hole set up don't you?
