Where are dudes that are doing t5 swaps acquiring their t5's from? Buy a junky core off Craigslist and have it rebuilt? Buy that new new from summit?

+1 and the prices are odd these days.Everyone says "these are so easy to find". I disagree.
Everyone says "these are so easy to find". I disagree. But after a pretty long search, I got mine off of craigslist. I'm pretty confident in my wrenching skills, and rebuilding one isn't a big deal. I swapped input shafts and popped it in. All seems well.
I mean the "rebuilt" ones are all over Craigslist for 800-900 dollars. Those are easy enough to find but at those prices for a few hundred more I can get brand new with the gears I want from summit or jegs.
My current T5 is out of a low mile v6 mustang from the junkyard. If I was to do it again I would just buy a new ford racing one and be done with it.
Almost all used units are junk and have isuses in some way.
Eric the car guy and what's his name from that other place have a great 2 part series on rebuilding them and also how like 80% of the "rebuilt" ones aren't actually rebuilt.
