Default Is this a good price for a Bender SW3 custom crawler?

i am planning on joining the group that crawls around the bay and rather than buying a new crawler, buying used. i came across a used Bender SW3 locally (in hayward) for $450. It comes with the following:
-Bender Customs SW3 chassis ($100)
-RC4WD R2 transmission ($85)
-Tamiya TLT-1 locked axles ($100)
-Spare Tamiya TLT-1 locked axle ($50)
-Aluminum knuckles ($25)
-Straight axle kit ($25)
-Steel axle kits ($25)
-RC4WD Silver/Black aluminum beadlock wheels ($110)
-55t lathe motor ($30)
-Hitec HS-645MG servo ($40)
-HPI rockcrawling tires ($40)
-HPI Baja buggy body and Jeep body ($40)
-3300mah battery pack ($30)
-Charger ($50)
-Futaba stock radio ($20)
-Speed controller ($25)
-Misc. parts to put it all together such as screws, links, shafts, shocks, etc. ($80)


Is this worth it or can i get a used one here for cheaper?
