Need help, buying my first road bike on craiglist (Motobecane Jubilee Sport)

I've only ridden on mountain bikes, so I need you help. I want to buy this Motobecane Jubilee Sport bike for $125. I did research on this and it seems like it's a nice vintage bike for a poor college student, aka me.

One of the concerns that I have is that the bike frame is 19". I am 5'4''. According to this site
(http://simplybike.wordpress.com/2010...ght-size-bike/),
this bike should fit me. However, I stumble this post (http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in...p/t-60005.html) where the rider who is 5'10'' says that the bike is too big for him. So I'm confused right now, I need to buy the bike fast since I can't handle walking to classes anymore. Also, is this a good deal?
