Yes +1, the Panasonic sport series is a low end model - but fine for a beater, around town bike.
For re-sale they go for $80-$120, so it's not worth a ton of time/investment.
On the plus side - the large frame, in my opinion, helps. I've kept around a 44cm panasonic sport for my wife and upgraded parts. Rationale is that small frames are a pain to find and sell at a premium. An extra large frame may have a appeal for someone in need of a large size and not so large funds.
