Agree with the last post, but let me add one more thing...

If the repair was not properly documented (Form 337) and done by a
reputable licenced repair entity, you should walk away. Such a lack
of attention to a major repair indicates a willingness to shortcut a
host of minor issues, from trailer to towhook, that will come back to
bite you later.

You want to concentrate on flying the new ship with out any qualms, or
sudden maintenance surprises. Reward a seller of a well maintained
ship, and let the lessser ones got to an estate auction. You will do
yourself, your future aircraft, and the Sport a favor....
