Default Is this welder worth buying???

Well came across a deal on a welder, should I buy? Need some advice. My buds selling it for $65 and he just used it for general round the house ---- and the occasional exhaust and charge piping builds. This is prety much what im gonna use it for, nothing like mani fabbing. Let me know if 65 is a good deal, thanx. Here are the stats:

-90 AMP FLUX MIG WIRE WELDER-
NO GAS REQUIRED Specifically designed to use self-shielding flux-cored welding wire, eliminating any need for gas and regulators normal MIG welders require. Self regulating feed control Thermal protection with warning light Carry handle on lid Input: 115 volt, 15 amps, single phase Welding current (2 settings) 63 to 68 amps (low), 79 to 90 amps (high) Duty cycle: 10% @ 80 amps, 18% @ 60 amps Wire capacity: 0.035'' or 0.030''
