The other problem is Chromebooks have expiration dates for auto updates. It tends to be ~5 years on older ones, and ~6.5-7 years for more recent platforms, so you need to check especially with used ones. This Chromebook “expired” in terms of updates on June 2019, so it has been 16+ months since it went to unsupported status. If it doesn’t bother you parts tend to be cheap for EOL Chromebooks because of ones people stripped for parts and “as-is” ones with an [post|460756|enterprise lock that wasn’t removed], so you can get creative with finding the part and have a good shot at it if you need to do that. That said, you may want to at least consider a newer model with a few years left if the repair cost is similar.

The main reason cost is a problem with Chromebooks is they have update expiration dates; once it's expired, they depreciate off of a cliff in seconds after it's official. Older ones were EOL in 5 years, newer ones tend to last ~6.5-7 years, depending on if it's EDU or non-EDU and how long Google decides to support it. As such, you need to check used machines closely.
