Should I buy this MacBook Pro?

It has liquid damage, but it's only $200. I was thinking I could buy it and maybe fix it up. If I can't, I'll just sell it. It's a 2009 MacBook Pro, if that helps any. I'm only 15, so I'm not raking in big bucks. I probably won't even get a MacBook until college, so this could be the start of my journey into Mac world. It's practically calling out to me. I think it's a steal, but is it worth the hassle? The woman selling it says that it would cost about $220 to fix it. I figured I could take it apart and clean it out. That seems to work most of the time.

It has liquid damage....

I stopped reading right there. There's no way I would touch it at any price, but that's just me. Some may like to tinker, so it might be worth it to you.

if the logic board is damaged... it wont work and cost you more money...

No
Likely beyond repair
And $220 estimate is too low
Only buy for parts if far less than what you feel confident reselling

I could still get a profit from reselling.

I could still get a profit from reselling.

If the logic board is bad, that costs at least $500.
