I consistently get junk when I buy old Thinkpads. Usually the problems are not major, but I started buying Panasonic Toughbook CF-C1A (1st gen intel) and CF-C1B (2nd gen intel) laptops which are equivalent to X200 and X220. I have several units on ebay now for $60 USD which have 14,000 hours (basically on since they were manufactured) and they look and act brand new. I also started getting CF-19 MK3 (Core 2 duo) and CF-19 MK4 (i5) for field use. They are basically rock-solid, even with 8000 hours. Not every single used one has been great, but most have been very, very good...
