Which is pretty significant (in my game, anyway).

That's kinda the point; they're being sold cheap because they're either old, or have a lot of problems, or are just plain poorly manufactured and/or were poorly maintained previously. Hence the current owners are willing to let them go at a reduced price, but the tradeoff for that is the new owner is going to incur substantially increased long term ownership costs until it's run into the (space) ground or finally gives up the (space) ghost (coast to coast).
