I've always lubed my hinges (w/moly) to the point the doors now barely stay open on a slope. It was on the dealer routine service checklist along with the trunk hinges that few ever bother to do, also lubing and wiping the antenna mast for retraction.

Once the roller cams get a bit worn on their studs and the U-spring metal fatigues then problems are inevitable.

I would think used is the best option, rather than repair. Extra care needs to be taken to crack and restore the paint bond after adjustment for rust reasons. Without checking, I'm only guessing that 240 hinges don't fit. Even if the bolt holes align the pin also has to align.
