Yes you can find some killer deals. Just do your research so you know what you're getting.
Often I see deals posted that with shipping aren't any better then buying new with free ship that's offered by lots of vendors.
Remember posted prices are asking prices. You can usually get a better price if you jump on it and have cash in hand.
As stated above before you spend a dime put together a spreadsheet and leave yourself a little room.
The misc stuff can really add up. Fluids alone cost $150 - $200. If you go T56 you'll need to mod the tunnel. The cost of things like welding up the exhaust and parts needed to get the gauges working are often overlooked in the budget. Shipping of the needed parts can also add fair amount to the build cost.
Good luck with your build and enjoy the journey
