Depends on a lot, and I'm not sure what "out" exactly entails but you could replace seals and springs for a couple hundred bucks or go with a "replacement" pump anywhere around $600-$1000+. So assuming that's all that's wrong with it then its a good deal IMO. You can always fix/replace sheet metal rather easily if you have the time and $$$.

if the front seal is cracked it is putting diesel in the oil.. if you decide to get it and need it hauled let me know also.. I live in granite bay and am always in Roseville rocklin ,citrus height area.
