Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes: A little of everything

That's a fine price for that bike, and if its a good fit and in good shape, then go for it.

I laughed at 'ridden 23 times'.

Edit: looked it up to make sure; I thought it was a mostly-105 drivetrain- looks like Tiagra/105 with a Sugino crank. Still a good buy- maybe see if he'll do 500 even, but I wouldnt press the issue.
