Default Old Zipp 404's-would you buy them?

Hey,
I'm a newbie to this forums but have been cycling for a long time and I am in need of some honest opinions. I am planning on being a time trailist, but I do a lot of everything like track racing or stage races, but I don't have a lot of money. I want to get something that will work really well in TT's and will last forever. I friend of mine offered me 2007 dimpled Zipp 404's that have only been raced a couple of times for $1000. Tell me what you thin, is this a good price, are these really good wheels for TT's? Thanks in advance for he responses! How will these compare to my current wheels which are Bontrager Race XX lite.
