Should I buy this guitar?

Found it at a local pawn shop. Looks exactly like the picture, no dings, perfect. Comes with hardshell case. $160, although I could get them down to like 140ish. I need to decide quick because it won't be there for long. I'm conflicted because I'm low on cash and getting it means I might have to part with my Teisco, which I don't want to do and I won't part with by other Tele. I'm going to scrape so change together. I've got like $70 in spare change, so halfway there.

I think I'm going to definently try to get it. Musician's "Friend" has it listed for $199

I have a bad history with Squiers. And I don't mean regular fall-apartness.

My Squier strat is in two pieces in my room back home right now.

Not a squier fan either, its like fender puts blindfolds on and sits on their hands for 10 minutes until they're numb and then throws some guitars together.

In case you can't tell, I really hate my squier p-bass.

Pro's-It's sexyCon's- Shit hardware,neck. I'm guessing save up and buy a real one.
Same with me, I'm not a fan. They fall apart too easily and sound too bassy.
