OK, I looked at the link in the first post...
Some things to consider. Bi-Laminate fabric suits will break down sooner than Tri-Laminate fabric, so you should consider this to be the entry level suit they state that it is. Your long term resale value will suffer accordingly. But heck, the suit is reasonably priced to begin with.
On any used suit the seals may have been trimmed more than you would like them to be trimmed. This may mean that you will need to replace the seals immediately. Perfect seals with no cracking, tearing, or other signs of misuse will still need to be replaced if they are too loose to seal around your wrists and neck.
As others have said the underwear is more important to the thermal protection value of a dry suit than the suit itself (Bi-Laminate or Tri-Laminate suits) assuming that the suit in question does not leak. Do not cheap out on the underwear, and you need to consider it in the initial price you will need to pay for the suit before you ever get in the water with it. Your profile indicates that you are in Georgia, so we are probably not talking about ice diving, but cold water can be found close to your home. Heck, I am in Ft. Lauderdale right now and I thought about breaking out the dry suit for the water here.
In my opinion fit is the single most important thing you should consider when getting a dry suit! An expensive suit that fits will serve you better than a cheap suit that does not fit. Choose wisley.
Be patient, my quest for a good used dry suit took several months, and was not without problems.
