Washburn AB10

Popped into a pawn shop today, and the bass pickins were slim. Though they had a nice looking AB10 on the wall. I played around with it for a while, neck was nice, fret work was good, only issues I could see were some cosmetic stuff (mostly buckle rash). I don't have any experience in the acoustic bass world, but have been wanting to give them a shot. I loved how light it was. It sounded good acoustically, but they didn't have an amp set up that I could get her on. When I got home I showed my lady some pics and it passed the girlfriend test with flying colors (she even said she thought it was so cool that she might have to learn bass just to play it.) Now the real question, they had it listed for $250, but said I could get it for $200 cash in hand, should I pounce on this?
