2003 Specialized rockhopper worth it?
https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/68435609.html
what you guys think? 17 inch, with ugpraded seat , should I check it out, should fit me i think, since guy said he is 5"11 and i m 5"10
300 bux seems decent, might even get for 275,
Or I should just get a brand new spec hardrock sport V with waranty/tune ups?

How it was ridden. Abused. latest tuneup done to it. Maybe even ask for the shop name and call them. Buying used might be cheap to start but if you get a lemon it could come back to bite you.

You'll also get a lifetime warranty on the frame, for the money go new!
