Default '90-'93 Passenger-side power mirror --- get new from Honda, used or aftermarket?

I really thought this question belonged in Miscellaneous and Appearance --- and I suppose it still might --- however this noob can't post there...

The passenger-side power mirror on my '91 is broken (the wife smacked a mailbox with it, long story). This was 18 mos. ago and I'd limped it along with JB Weld. I hope to never have to take one of those apart again! Anyway, it's now "more broken" (JB weld finally gave way, and is less salvageable than before.)

The dealer wants like $200 or more for a new one. I just glanced at eBay and saw new "OEM-like" units for $40?! and used originals for similar or less.

It would seem that for $40 I can hardly go wrong, unless I wind up buying $40 mirrors every 6 mos. because they are crap...but then again maybe the used units have weak or "skitchy" motors...what say the experts here on what to do?

And, should I confirm with the seller(s) that their reproductions come with a motor or is that assumed? Did I mention I hope to never have to take one of those apart again?
