If I were to offer my advice, I'd go for the used one, you can check it for
play when removed so you have some kind of guarantee. As its only 75 bucks
more than the core charge anyway you have a diff to spare that if this one
develops noises you can trade in. Sounds the best if you are on a budget.
Besides that, if you can afford one, go for a rebuild one with warranty, I
wouldn't give atoss about a drain hole, the things are not made for
draining.
