Hello. Bit of adivce please?

Hello people. I'm Dee.
I'm looking to buy a 99 plate ET4, 23.000 miles. Has had oil and plugs changed, no history, was Cat C damaged back in 2009 (Prob stolen and recovered.) but has been ridden ever since. Comes with HPI check.
Starts and runs just fine, bit tatty cosmetically, but I plan on tidying it up and re-painting it anyhow. 
It's £400.
Worth taking a risk, or should I leave it well alone? I'm going to have a look at it on Thursday.

leave well alone and buy a cheap PX instead

As Citydaz says ....
A PX would get my vote ..
However, should you go ahead and buy the one you’re viewing then health to ride 🛵🛵

A PX is a bit out of my price range. The Scooter wouldn't be my first mode of transport as I have a car and a pushbike which I use for work.
I just have a bit of an itch for a vintage-ish scooter.

Get that one, run it for a bit, do it up, and try to eventually trade up.
