I think this ought to be your biggest concern. The handle is supposed to
be parallel to the body and so should never touch it. If it
does, then possibly the lens has been dropped onto the handle and bent it.
A drop severe enough to do this should be a concern.
There is supposed to be enough clearance between the handle and the body
to fit the lens cap/snood.
Does the lens come with the cap/snood and aluminium case? I think the
cap may be unavailable so if it doesn't have it do not assume you can get
another.
2K+ sounds like a bit much for a lens with a scratched front element and
a bent mount.
