Should I pick up this Dahon Classic?

I found this Dahon Classic on craigslist, the guy wants $75 for it.

What I can't tell is if it has an internal hub, derailer, or if it's a single speed.
The guy told me it doesn't have a "gear changer" and the only time he rode it as he pedaled faster it changed gears, but I didn't think Dahon used any of that gimmicky auto shifting stuff. He said there are 3-4 cogs on the back. It is so hard to get good info from people that know nothing about bikes...

Thoughts? Worth the price?

Here's the one pic i can get

After searching round the internet I think I found the same model on flickr

Look like a single speed with a dyno hub, but I could be mistaken. Could be internally geared.

Worth $75?

see if the folding works and no parts are missing ..... than enjoy the bike ....
its almost a classic with all the pros and cons of a classic .....
but for 75 buckaroos what can you do wrong ?

keep in mind that a new 500 dlr Dahon rides very different
but as I said above
