Good Deal, Decent Deal or Bad Deal?

I don't ever seem to be around,when these free,and $500 340's come available. I gave $1000 for mine. I would see if the guy would agree,to have the block checked at a machine shop,at my expense of coarse. If it checks out,I think that is a fair price,and you will have to have that done anyway. If not,your only out a few $'s,and not $1000. Just my .02,if it's worth it.
