I know they are not made anymore. I have a chance to buy a four foot used one. Are they any good? Any one still using them? Or should I order a new Vision cage?

I personally love my neos. They are a pain for stacking but I love them for more active snakes. I also know they are a loved cage by venomous keepers. The biggest drawback is they do become brittle with age.

The big issue with used Neodesha cages is that one cannot be sure how the previous owner cleaned or stored them. Some ABS plastics do not deal well with even small amounts of UV light, and disinfectants.
They used to come with labels saying to use dish soap and nothing else to clean their cages. The reason being that both bleach and chlorhexadine can cause ABS plastic to get brittle.
At any rate, the best place to look for damage is on the radiused interior edges against the floor of the cage. This is where cracking usually first starts.
