The bending was resolved with the 7000 Series aluminum used on the 6s, the bending issues was with the iPhone 6 that used the 6000 series aluminum. The 7000 series is a much stronger aluminum.
When you purchase a used iPhone, you want make sure its paid off and not locked to a specific carrier and also removed from the iCloud account.
If you’re purchasing an iPhone online used from a seller, be sure to reference their feedback and look for plenty of pictures, and always ask questions if you have any.

Check battery life.
Check for signs of drops or unusual gaps or tool marks.
Check it's not reported or stolen.
Check it's been wiped and isn't linked to an iCloud account (so it can't be remotely locked).
If it seems to good a price, walk away. These things have a known value. If it's significantly cheaper, there is usually a good reason.
Pay through PayPal or similar for some buyer protection.

Why is this better than paying cash?
