Default Replacing window regulator...new or used?

My drivers power window went crazy the other day and my mechanic says I need a new regulator.
It is too bent to be fixed. I see used parts on ebay and could probably get one for under $100 or
I could get one from thevolvopartsclub.com for about $170. Should I go new or used? By the way,
this is a 2004 v70.

Call around to local auto salvage yards, they can tell you if the car the part came from has low miles. If so, buy it and I bet you can do better on the price too.
