What are you hoping to do with it? I got a used Thinkpad T480 that was like new for โฌ180 and added a couple of upgrades to it (1TB NVMe, 64GB RAM, Intel AX200 Wi-Fi card) that cost me โฌ137, meaning a total of โฌ317, and I'm very happy with the laptop right now, it's very responsive with Arch Linux and an i3 desktop and I think this baby will be good for many years.
Seconding a used Thinkpad. They are plenty modular/repairable compared to other laptops. I've got an X270 and it's a great little machine.
where do you find used thinkpads online?
Amazon sells used thinkpads other than general age of the hardware love mine that I got for about $300
