NO. If you have to ask this question, then it's not worth buying. You don't want to have someone's headache.

Apparently either not well repaired, or not well maintained. I would keep looking...

These cars are not cheap to fix problems and issues. Get one with a warranty. If you go cheap and buy one with issues, you will end up spending more trying to fix the issues that comes with the damaged car.
