The one for $1000 gets my vote unless you can get a new one for less than what you've found. I'm guessing he'd go lower plus you might save on taxes and fees of a new one. I would try to find out how the wheel got bent and also check everything over to make sure there wasn't other damage. Take a spin to make sure it rolls straight and nothing feels off. If you buy it treat it like a new one; inspect and re-torque everything, adjust valves, change oil if not already done, etc.
