...+1 on this. If you're not gonna sell it again, an extra 50-100 bucks is not a big deal for the right bike.
And I always take the "new everything, completely overhauled" ads on CL with a grain of salt.

There is no certificate of mechanical expertise for CL, to my knowledge. And I've seen a lot of work
that has either been done wrong or not done at all despite claims to the contrary. For my own safety
and peace of mind, i usually end up doing it all over again anyway.
