Default rear brake line replacment

Hi all
I'm looking atthis(http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/942011722.html) RRC
and the seller mentions that it needs a rear brake line replaced. Never owning a RRC before i'm a little nervous. Is this a major problem or something that can be taken care of easily? Any help/advise would be great.
Thanks
Matt

No,
Actually it is quite common with many vehicles that use rubber brake hoses. With time they break down and need to be replaced, in our case they make stainless steel replacements.
This is something you can do yourself in an hours time you can replace all 4 and bleed the system.
By the way, how much is he asking for the truck?

Test drive that before you buy it. If what he says on the listing is true that's an AWESOME deal, jump on it.
