If it is the BDS fabric, avoid. The others are good.

For a couple years they made a breathable kevlar reinforced material. Both the early and later version suffered delamination issues. I had one. The suit started getting the bends, after a dive there were bubbles between the layers. Got an out of warranty deep discount on a replacment suit with conventional material (Durasoft?) and that has been fine.

The BDS material is the one to run away from. The rest of it is normal drysuit stuff.

That is my suit (the good new one, not the bad BDS material)
Asking price for the used Ursuit is too high. For what you want, and what you are looking to spend, the Seaskin is a better deal.

This last one was a made to measure suit, the one prior a real close fit off the peg. Thought the made to measure was just a little splurge. After getting it and using it I changed my mind. Worth every penny.

The off the peg drysuits are nice for learning. What features do you want or not want. I've done 3 drysuits. First was a used off the peg, almost fits, got it cheap. Almost like what you are trying to do, except I go mine cheap where you are looking to spend too much money. Second suit was also off the peg, but actually sized correctly. A step in the right direction. I probably would have been happy with that suit except it had issues. So a replacement suit suit, this time sprung for a made to measure. Biggest step toward a happy fitting drysuit yet.
 
Do you have any drysuit experience? If not, you don't know what you don't know. You can't really assess suit condition and whether it's a good fit. Do NOT trust seller's opinion on how it fits you. For that price, your best option is Seaskin
