First and for most i would like to say sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section but it seemed like it would fit here.

ok well theres some one in my town thats selling a mac book 2.2 but its having problems. im going to paste the description of the add under this

"I have a White Apple MacBook 2.2GHz, 1 Gig of Ram, and if I remember correct about a 114 Gig Hard Drive, but has an issue, it does not seem to want charge its battery and also will not start just using the charger. Yes the charger is not in good condition, but does seem to work OK on my friends MacBook, so I'm lost on why. With a charged battery, it boots and runs great, so I'm lost, if you know something about Apples and want to play with it, it should be a great deal."

from what he has told me it is a 2.2ghz intel processor and its a year and a half old and also told me this : "The Model Identifier says MacBook3,1 if interested, serial #W87471ZXZ63" if this helps out. im interested in buying this but to me for a laptop thats not fully working i dont think its worth 500 and i got to get it fixed after.

so heres my question is it worth getting it and fixing it or does it sound like its going to cost to much to fix and should ask him to lower the price. thanks in advance for any help and i really do appreciate the help.
