Default Does this crack look alright?

I am looking to purchase this guitar and want to know if this repaired crack looks okay. There are cleats underneath. The crack is on the right side of the fretboard. The lines around the sound hole and the edge of the sound hole do not line up. Which makes me think that that it was cracked a long time ago and left with the strings on. I know for a fact it was repaired recently. There is also a chance this guitar was dropped. Though, with all these faults, this guitar sounds and plays like a thousand dollar guitar.

A proper repair should have the edge of the sound hole line up.

I think the repair was done in a hurry.

No pic because it's a Google account & also requires a login to view directly.

Sorry about the issue with the pic. I don't post here often and that was my first ever attempt at posting a picture.
