I'd rather get one that needs a little work (like the Specialized Crossroads Sport I restored for my younger daughter) than take chances on something that's been monkeyed with.
This is why I'd rather buy something that is all-original or "unmolested", even if not in full working order, over something that has been "repaired" or "recently serviced" without any proper documentation. I know what kind of nightmare I might be in for, but don't want to track down and fix whatever nightmare you have created.
