Buying a used laptop on Craigslist?

I’m looking to pick up a laptop, but money is a bit tight right now. I don't need anything high-end—just something basic for college to handle things like papers and presentations.
I don't know much about tech specs beyond the basics, but I figured I'd ask:
Is something like this worth it around $333?

That processor is ancient. You won't get much out of it for $333, but I'm pretty sure you can find something better for that kind of money
