Used B codes springs price?

Hi I was wondering what a set of used B codes with 140k on them are worth? I just found a set right in my town for $150.00 or best offer. Is it worth the chance or buy new? I picked up a set of X codes used that are basically brand new maybe 5000 miles max. Thanks for yur opinionsand suggestions. Money is just really tight I my household right now would love to get new B's but not happening.

A set of ten year old springs from Minnesota aren't worth the effort to haul them off for scrap metal. IIRC, I paid about $150/spring for new ones.

remember that is $150 for BOTH vs. $300+ for both used/new normally

also remember that you are going to be freshening up those leafs with some from your current leaf pack

I personally would do it. If they aren't where you want them to be, pick up a set later on. You said $$$ is tight now right? Try it and see

Have you ever looked under a Minnesota truck? I can't believe there is enough spring left to hold a vehicle up.
