Don't waste your money on a DME. Too much maintenance.
Purchase a good used IFR GPS.


What he said!

I am presently looking to replace my RNAV/DME with a new GPS. By the time
you buy and install a used DME system you will be getting pretty close to a
used IFR GPS.

What he said, squared. About the only thing I can think of that you can do
with a DME that you can't with a terminal-certified GPS is use it to fly an
ILS-DME (because you don't have the location of the ILS DME ground station
in the GPS database).

FWIW, the KLN94 has the I-xxx stations in the database for doing DME
to ILS stations.
