Get a Nikon refurb through Cameta. They up the warranty to a year for free.
Forget shutter count.

Where do you find the click count?
You'll find the shutter count of a camera in the EXIF data of an image. There is freeware/shareware available as well as several websites such as:
http://www.nikonshuttercount.com/
If you can get an image from the camera in question, if not you'll have to take the seller's word for the count until you can verify it yourself. Again, the D7200 is tested to 150,000 actuations mean between failures. I'd day anything under 50K would be acceptable based on the asking price of the seller.
Here's an example of the EXIF data from my D90 (shutter counts on page 5) at 9790.

Try an experiment by printing an image first in the Nikon Software and then Lightroom. Lightroom in my opinion does not do as good as job as the Nikon Software. The reason why is that the Nikon Software incorporates the features of their cameras into their software, which would be difficult for a third party to do. You can try other third party software that are nondestructive processor of the Nikon RAW file such as Capture One or ACDsee. These third party software offer 30 day trials.

With 10% off, that brings the price down to $719.99, a great price for this body. I bought mine refurbished and it had 15 clicks on the shutter. Nikon's sales will be done at the end of today.

Or to put it another way, a DSLR with a tested duty cycle of 150,000 is equal to over 4,000 rolls of 36-exp film in an analog camera !!
BTW am considering the D7200 for my next body purchase, most likely new or refurbished. Also note that "refurbished" doesn't necessarily mean the camera or lens is refurbished....sometimes it's a cosmetic refurbish - packaging get ripped, mislabeling, etc. That would explain a shutter count of 0 unless the factory has a way to reset it.

I purchased 2 D7200 refubs from Adorama, one had zero clicks and the other 35 clicks. I took out additional insurance for 2 years for $25 each and am thrilled with the cameras. One is dedicated to the long lens for wildlife and the other for everything else. You will love the D7200 and don't be afraid to buy refurbished. They are generally store samples that haven't been used except for a click here and there. But, buy from a reputable dealer. Adorama, Cameta, B&H are all great. Good luck and happy shooting !

If I say 10 and someone else says 5, how helpful is that, really? Refurbished from an authorized dealer is an excellent option. Cameta Camera even throws in a one year warranty. Most others only offer the standard Nikon 90 day refurbished warranty unless you spring for the cost of extended warranties.

In my opinion, refurbished is the way to go: better product and better price. All of my Nikon products (D7100, two zooms and Speedlite) came either from Nikon or Cameta Camera. I won't go into a long explanation, but you can find my thoughts as well as others by using the search function above.
I am sure that you will love your D7200.

I part-exed a nikon D5200 for a D7200 with MPB in the uk , you have MPB in the states , New York i think ? I wholeheartedly recommend them , I had a great deal, it was £200 less than new and had 4 activations only ! A bargain ! A superb camera , you'll love it . Cheers , Dave.

Yes refurbished is the way to go but make sure it is through an authorized center - Nikon best. It may even be better than brand new since it is tested up to spec and gets "white glove" treatment.
