Hard to tell anything much form that photo. The lettering on the top tube right behind the headset would be the model name if my Brava is any indication. That looks like two words, and too long for "Brava".
that is what you are asking, right, its kinda hard to tell from your note is this a craigs list or ebay entry?
Very bent bottle cage, though that's replaceable. What's that black thingy on the right side front dropout? It looks like a bracket of some sort.
I'd check it for straightness. And sight down the head tube along the side of the fork to see if the fork is bent.
Don't know what the price would be but I'd expect that bike to be pretty good regardless of the model name.
