There are other marques in that price range that might be just as good or better....do not be in a big hurry to buy, there are a lot of bikes out there and the first one at 250 should be a good one.

Shimano Golden Arrow components, meh.
It's a project bike, would be a spendy fix at the LBS, at least $100 with parts, crankset and pedals, plus overhaul.
You can find equivalent Miyata 310s in ready to ride condition for less than $250.
As presented, bike is worth $100, including shipping.
