Default is it a good idea to purchase used springs?

(well, i'm asking this is mainly because i have no idea how durable lower springs are. )


due to financial difficulties, i want to buy some used lower springs. and there is a seller, but i don't know if it is worthy?

tein s tech, he said it's less than 7 thousand miles on it.
(he doesn't have the receipt to prove when he got them)


is it ok? or i should just save up and buy brand new ones?

They should be fine after 7k, but don't pay to much for them as used springs don't usually sell for that much.
