Here is a link to a member's personal page, Steve Baz. Click on Tips and Tricks, then scroll about 1/3rd way and youll see "Buying a Used PSD". A good starting point. I might add, that if it has or has had a K&N air filter, beware. They are blamed for letting through dirt and debris. You will definately want to pull the intake tubing and inspect the turbo fins for a "dusted" appearance. If it has the orange silicone tubing, be very careful, it will tear easily. Hope this helps.
