Yup, that is a very good deal. The HX40 will take some time to spool up, but they flow some air. The 7-blade flows more, but that 8-blade will spool up faster. I just paid $300 for my HX35w, which is a step smaller. I also believe the HX40 uses a T4 flange instead of a T3.

He's not lying about taking them off of transit busses. They're in the middle of a campaign right now that often calls for the replacement of the turbo because in certain applications they can't be clocked properly to allow for proper oil drainage.

As long as there in overall good shape, no shaft play or shaft breakage then get it

If this turbo is part the current campaign it is fairly new. I wouldn't worry about it being too "beat up". Remember it's probably never seen the kind of rpm a gasoline engine can throw at it. Average cummins diesel engine rpm is 2500-3000 max.
