Question mark and not booting, using option key leads to three beeps

Hello
I was offered the above described MBP at a fair price with the hint, it may be defect / broken.
The current owner told me, that a SSD was inserted and after a while the MBP does not boot any longer - it is just showing blinking question mark.
I advised to hold down option after powering up the MBP and he told me, then 3 beeps can be heard and nothing happens ( more or less ).
He agreed that little bit of water was spilled on the MBP, but it was running without any problems until last week or so.
I would assume logic board is broken or is on its way to !&&*, but maybe someone has an idea on this failure.
I am working on servers and I have seen a lot of times RAM modules failing after a couple of years and I have read about weal and broken HDD cables especially in 13" MBPs.
So, any suggestion? Should I take it?
Thanks in advance,
Stone
