The big differnce between used and new is if it is a used core for
rebuilding, which I assume the engive in question is not. Also if it is
used they might want you to use released value on it which is difficult to
explain to lay man but is like \insurance but you tell the trucker what it
is worth per pound and this is how the freight charge is figured.
