Is there a certain brand or model I should by. A buddy mine has one forsale and I'm thinking about buying it for 550$. Does that sound like a good price

If it's built by CIA (Century International Arms) I would steer clear of it. I have read a lot of bad reviews. Ask him who built it.
Dozens of different AKs around these days and not all are worth your time or money. Go over to AR15.com and open the AK47 forum. All you could ever want to know. You will need some specifics from your friends weapon to get the answers you're looking for.

First, if you don't have a lot to spend, there's nothing wrong with the low end AK's (Century built Romanian stamped AK's)as long as you are able to examine them yourself before you purchase. Here is a great resource for AK information.....and these guys will tell you the same thing I am.

Do some searches on "Milled versus stamped" and you'll find Most people these days will argue that the stamped recievers are better then the milled.....regardless of how the milled just "feels" better. I was very skeptical of the low end AK's before I bought. I did a lot of research, then hand picked one from a dealer.
I have shot over 2000 rounds thru mine with no problems at all. Very accurate and dependable.
I have a stamped Romanian AK....$399.00. I have 4 friends with Ak's.....3 that are milled guns that all cost over 650.00. We have clamped all 5 down and tested with the same ammo.....and only one of them will outshoot mine as far as grouping goes. The most expensive one...$800.00, an import by panther arms, is actually the worst shooting one of the bunch.
When buying a cheap century build, it's important that you hand pick it. Make sure everything is tight and the bolt works flawlessly, and that the front sights aren't canted. They are warranted like any other gun and can be returned if you find any issues.
Good luck
