Just a thought if it was certified and the aeroplane used for training in
the UK then it will have been run on AVGAS 100LL for its entire life. Not
good!

Second user engines are really difficult to value and its really what are
you prepared to pay?
However personally I would have thought that between 5K and 8 for what
you have described, am sure that someone will chip in with either more or
less of a figure, anyhow have chucked a stone in the pond so let's see where
the ripples go?
As far as I am aware certainly here in UK if you put a certified engine into
a permit aircraft it then becomes non certified? Will have a great
maintenance record though, probably better than most permit engines? A
flying buddy of mine replaced a 912UL from his certified aircraft with a
replacement exchange engine from Austria/Germany and they were credited less
than 3K for it (had done 800Hrs)!
