Used Tablesaw on Craigslist?

I'm looking at table saws on Craiglist. Want one precise enough to make bathroom and kitchen cabinets, ideally able to take a dado blade. Will be working with 1" and thinner material. Don't need to rip 4'x8' sheets or other large stock.

In some prior threads on tools, folks spoke highly of Delta saws. There are a ton of Delta saws for cheap on Craigslist, don't know if these are crap ones?

Well, there are so many table saws on Craigslist I don't know where to start. Here are some ads that caught my eye. Could anyone give me any thoughts - which ones should I call on?

A $100 Delta. There are zillions of these Deltas for $75-100.

A $75 Delta with extensions. If these are okay, I could pick up one a day.

A $450 DeWalt. These are $1,300 new with no fence. How are these better for my purposes than the cheaper ones?

A $250 Rigid

A $150 Craftsman with extension and Biesmeyer fence. Are Craftsmans okay?

A $650 Delta with extension and Beismeyer fence. More than I want to spend, but what makes it worth it?
