I second that. I was about to say the same. However, I would pass on 5D Mark I since it's been a bit outdated. Pay attention to get one with low amount of shots. Low is anything less than <50k shots. Even anything between 50k-100k would be fine. Since those cameras could go easily above 300k shots. Based on the physical body condition 50k is considered "new".

Choice of lenses is a different topic depending on what you are going to take a photo of. Lenses could be very expensive. You can go ahead and find your lens here: https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/index.htm

5D is a full frame camera (35mm), so you need to base your choice of lenses on that information. If you are in a doubt, I would probably start with 50mm lense (the nifty-fifty) which is cheap enough for start but have superior quality for the price category. If you want to do macro photography, 40mm second hand lense would be useful as an affordable choice. Don't focus on the camera, since 5D is a great one
