I’d move on too. Let the proceeds from this bike pay for one your size. You are likely two sizes off. If it was just one size I’d try adjusting,

6-2 and 23 inch frame is way off. Measure TT center to center (center of ST to center of HT). A lot of vintage bikes are square: TT ctc really close to ST.

The good news if you step up to the 25 inch size, you should find more interesting stuff at lower prices. Raleigh made a lot of 25 1/2 inch frame sized bikes.
