However, I watch vintage Treks on ebay and have observed that many of them don't sell and get re-listed - sometimes with the 'Make An Offer'. You could try to wait on this and see what happens - maybe save some $$.
Good Luck - that's a nice bike as-is or upgraded with modern components (like 650b wheels and a hill-climbing drive train).
Also, at this point it's "Need" vs "Want"
Could I get the price down enough to justify getting a new bike . . . ?
