I have owned a couple Mariner's and always had good luck with them. One on a bass boat, one on a jon boat. I would recommend having a "Purchase Check" done by a Mercury / Mariner mechanic before you close the deal. They will check the compression, foot oil, etc. and give you a report. It should run $100 - $150.
If everything checks out okay, just run it often. The Mercs / Mariners don't like to sit still.
Good Luck with your bidding.

It's a Mercury. Absoutely no difference except the decals and paint color. I have a 1997 Mariner 200 on my bass boat. I've had no problems with the motor.
