Trek 820 to use as a hybrid?

Hey!
Im a beginner looking for some advicee- Ive been trying to find a good hybrid or a MTB that I can throw road tires on.

I found this:
https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc/bik/d/new-westminster-southwest-hybrid-bike/7076013972.html

Bike looks to be in great condition, any thoughts on condition, price and usability as a hybrid?

Thanks!🤠

200 seems at the high end for the bike. With road tires the bike will move along ok but the fork will be a useless slowdown due to age. I'd pass.

Too expensive for an 820. Look for a rigid fork as suspension (especially old one) is not needed for commuting.
