Identify this univega model for me please

Hi,
Forgive me, but I am a complete noob in terms of biking.
I just bought a Motobeacane nomad for $50, not knowing its worth. And I have been reading this forum all night. (trust me on that). The wheel needs some truing and may be tube as well and a good tune up. Its going to cost me more money, so I am thinking of not wasting any money on this motobeacane and sell it for whatever I bought it for in craigslist.

I found another post. Its a univega, looks in pretty good condition. Its around from mid 80s the owner believes.
He says it is aluminium frame and very light. He says its a 12 speed.

I am yet to go and see the bike, I might go today evening.

I am attaching the pictures he has in his ad, so I can get some inputs before I travel all the way there.
He is asking $110 for it.

Sorry for not gathering more information, but when I called the seller, he was at work and he didnt have the model number on the top of his head.

I really want to buy a road bike but not really going to spend a lot.
I have frequeted thrift stores, good wills. I could find nothing here, even the ones with rust are priced $35.

Please help me identify and decide whether to buy this one or wait or talk to him to take the price down.


Thanks.
