Compared to most of the stuff at walmart its still a huge improvement. Its a good entry line Trek that you will get a lot of use out of as is. Most Trek dealers will also include some basic service for a while and you do have a warranty buying new.
Ride the hell out of it. If you wear something out replace it with Deore or better if you dont want a new bike and then ride the hell out of it again.
Personally I'd check your local Craigslist and I bet you can find a better low mile bike for less but I'm cheap.
