Good deal?
That's a tough one. Rashed on boths sides means two crashes usually. Missing turn signals is also an indication of a crash. Rear brake pads at 4300 miles is just weird. Imo what you have there is a bike that looks like crap because of the rashed plastics. There's nothing wrong with a bike that looks like crap. All my bikes look like crap. That being said, you'd be better off getting an actual good-looking bike for a several hundred more, or getting an actual piece of junk for several hundred less. That bike is kinda in no-man's land.
