Default Thoughts on Used Throttle Body

I have a 97 1.8TQM with a throttle position sensor that doesn't function. The dealer wants to sell me a new Throttle body for $375. I can buy a used one for $200. Is this a part that wears out often? Should I be concerned about the miles on the used one? Any experiences would be appreciated.

Default you ought to be ok with a used one, as long as the sensor in it works

Plus you can clean the newer one up which might help things out as well.
