RockShox XC32 - HELP

[AndreDinis]

Hi everyone
I'm considering to purchase a RockShox XC-32 fork for my bike.
While browsing online I found this awesome deal: a used XC32 rockshox fork for only 60€ (49£). Sounds great doesn't it? well, I'm a bit reluctant about it because part of the wheel mount is broken and has been glued back (as shown in the images).

I just wanted someone more experienced than I to take a quick look at it and tell me whether this is a bad idea or if it is a good deal. Could it just need some work to make sure it is safe tu use (like welding or something?)?

Thanks

Do not buy that fork!

Damaged dropouts are a no go, if that fails you're going to have a bad time...

What's your budget and what travel is your frame rated for? 26"?

I was expecting to keep it under 120€/98£ or at least somewhere near that value.
the frame is rated for 100mm travel and it is 26"

All worth a look, have a flick through pinkbike and see if there is anything else you like the look of.

If buying second-hand make sure you check steerer length/diameter and ask if they have a star-nut fitted.

Thank you so much for your help, you've been very helpful (and probably prevented a broken arm as well).
Cheers

No worries, just ask if you have any other questions.

Oh, ask when they last had the fork serviced as well and read up on them online. Second-hand can get you a great deal these days, especially on 1 1/8th steerer, qr drop-outs. Most people are on tapered and either 15 or 20mm axles now.
