Personally I'd not waste the time and avoid entirely, solely because of the reported damage. The current price isn't discounted enough to make it worth the risk. Wait for a better condition M2C; fewer headaches all around and you will have far less trouble selling if/when the time comes.

If you insist on looking though, for sure get a PPI and try to determine the extent of the damage/repairs completed. Don't get emotionally attached, and be ready to bail if the PPI doesn't meet your expectations.
