Otherwise it may break the day after the purchase and you'll have to buy again. In any case I'd look for something with a 9400M oder newer as the models with the old Intel graphics are said to be quite slower.

Exactly, which is why I'd recommend an Apple refurb. Apple refurbs come with a 1 year warranty which can be extended

Right, but in the post above the refurbished store was one of two options. 😉 And with a used model I'd check twice as you don't know what the previous owner doesn't tell when selling 🙂.
