I suggest you find a reputable store that sells moderately priced instruments. They will let you play several so you can tell if they have the tone you want.

I would advise NOT buying a musical instrument online. There is no way to tell if the instrument is "dead" or "live" on the internet.

Yes, it is sometimes possible to pick up a good instrument cheaply, but be sure to play it first. Be sure you have choices.

I’ve seen some reports of good, cheap violins coming out of China now. Perhaps you can find a brick and mortar store that stocks them.

If i were you I would wait for a good one. Maybe even a brand new one. Because you never know how long cheap items will last, long or not long. But if you waited out and brought a good one, from a shop or not it most likely would last longer.
