If, for example, I determine that a particular GM seat motor is good, I could use a seat motor from a 2011 model GM car. Recycled does not necessarly mean old or unreliable.

The donation from the ARA is for 4 "free" motors, of which you can use 2 on this years robot. That's 100% spares. If you want more spares, there's nothing stopping you from getting more simply by paying for them.
