Default PT6A-28 and flying beyond the TBO.

Hi all, my company is looking to buy a Turboprop and fly 91. One specifically we are looking at has us curious. I don't have much turbine experience. The engines are 400 hours over TBO and I was wondering what your thoughts were on the impact of the engines already being over TBO.

Does that drastically alter the price?

I can't find a record of reliability online about flying turbines (PT6A-28) past the TBO, what are your thoughts as far as safety and reliability?

Is it common for insurance to cover overhauls or hot sections?

Thanks all.
