Default Should I buy this gun....Newby looking for advice

Hoping to get some opinions by guys that know more about these guns than me....My local gun shop has a Parker 16ga in V grade for $999.00. 26” barrels

The barrels do not lock up tight on face, and they have started to look a slight brownish color. When holding the gun I am able to move barrels very slightly wide to side and feel the play on face. Only a little bit of case coloring remains under the forearm.

The stock has a hairline crack that I am thinking was repaired.

Knowing the gun would need these issues fixed by a gunsmith- is this still a reasonable price for the gun? 1k is my limit and I’ll most likely never be someone that can afford to pay much more for a gun. So I was thinking this could be my opportunity to get myself a Parker 16ga and pay for the repairs down the road.

Or should I just be patient and continue to save until I can afford a gun that will be in better condition.?
