I would opt for new ones if I were you for good reasons the sale of used
seatbelts is in some countrys forbidden. You never know what happened to
the car, it might have had a previous accident that had been repaired
without changing the belts. The material stretches to a certain amount
but not further. (I know I should not scare anyone.... I know I should
not scare anyone.....etc...)
Just my opinion.
