Ps- how does one post a pic on here???
What's your annual mileage likely to be? I do 15k kms a year on my bike so I'd never be able to sell it if I kept it too long. Is there a routine inspection where you live? We don't have any MOT in Ireland so bikes cam get quite raggy. You could end up with lots of repairs on a bike like that. Cush drive rubbers, bearings, bushings and other moving parts are all likely to need attention on that bike. Haggle hard!
