Looking to buy used G35...burning oil holding me back

1 5AT here needed his motor replaced after discovering that metal shavings were all over the oil pan. I think the bearings went bad.
The techs actually discovered it on accident as they were replacing the spark plugs seals under warranty. When they popped up the valve cover, they saw the F'd up internals.

And my 03 5AT.. They think it was because I used synthetic oil right after the 1st oil change. We are still waiting for Nissan to let the dealership know what happened..I also go to look at the heads and well before I used 76 gas over all others and now I'm told they use some additive in their gas derived from pigs. I had a lot of deposits.

Each valve cover is $170, You need (2).
(the spark plug gasket are integrated into the valve cover).
Plus new valve cover gasket: $10 x 2
Total price w/o tax: $360. Add $320 labor : $680
That's in the 700-1000 range I posted above if you add taxes.
