should I buy a $10.99 10-speed for training?

Hi All,
I usually MTB, but now am on a 9-5 schedule so no more riding during the week.

I saw an old cro-mo Murray 10-speed at a Goodwill store yesterday for $10.99. It needs probably $50 in cables, tires, etc, but the truing, frame and components look good. I'm pretty broke, and just want a road bike for exercise during the week.

Do I scrape up $400 for an entry level road bike from pricepoint.com (or a LBS), struggle to find a decent used one locally, or buy the Murray?

Thanks!
Scott

(I might crosspost with MTB forum for a different perspective)
