Used pumps tend to fail shortly. Most of the cars with ABC scrapped because of ABC, at that point pump is gone or about to go. Unless you are doing all the work yourself (more power to you!), you will pay more in labor to replace your pump twice than to get one from Mercedes.

1- New pump is about 600 dollars or often less, using an old one is like buying a used/washed condom, considering the hassle to install it.

2- I am assuming you're talking about SBC pump? those are sold for less than 800 bucks at the dealer. The part number really depends on your VIN (PM me or post it and I can check)

New one is the least hassled path, as these units have an internal counter, and expire after certain number of cycles, then start prompting you to replace them, if you ignore, you could lose brake assistance all together (not a fun experience AT ALL)
