I will probably replace the wheels, tires, chain, and cables...clean up the derailleurs and grease/lube everything and be ready to go!
It's worth 30 dollars, no doubt about that. Even the higher end Nishikis of that era seem to be mid-grade bikes. I had a Nishiki International, which was pretty nice but you could tell it was built and spec'd with the retail price in mind.
Your Nishiki looks like it's in great shape. The decals are notoriously crappy but yours look good. Not to mention, the Nishiki head badges are super super cool.
