Default Do these upper control arms look like a good? buy?

A guy is selling me these off of his '98 GS400.
Said he bought them new a year ago but had no proof of purchase.
He want's $200 total for the left and right sides.
Is there anyway to tell what shape the arms are in from a pic?

Those UCA's look like, well, you know what. It must be a parts car - take a look at those rotors!

They look to be weathered the same amount as the rest of the car?

What state is the doner car located?

they look old to me, my arms are original from 2004 and look brand new compared to those. I say save the couple extra dollars up and get fresh oem ones.

Mine are original from 2000 and look 10x better than those. For 200 I would just buy new.
