Looking at this used recumbent -- opinions

I posted a Craigslist ad looking for a used recumbent trike. Got a response from someone selling this bike. Well, a bike just like this one (must not have a camera?) He states that it is 1 year old, he paid $850 and is asking $450. He said it was built by a company in Florida.

First thing I noticed was the one piece ashtabula crank --- heavy and department store level component. Makes me think it must weight a ton and that the other bits are most likely on the low quality side also. If I go take a look, and if it seems to ride ok, what sort of price should it sell for? In my mind I am equating it roughly with the cheapest Sun EZ3 model -- does that seem about right?

Any help greatly appreciated.
