I would personally wait for a cleaner bike to come along, especially if you don't like to tinker on bikes yourself. It looks quite well worn (see paint chips, general component wear, and grime) and a...

I really need to start searching locally... That's a steal. $199 for a NOS DX-5000? On eBay that would've probably gone for $400-$500 quite easily at the right time of year.
