Parts shouldn't be too difficult to find for the bike. It is a bit old, but if you have good mechanical skill it shouldn't be hard to maintain. It may be difficult finding a shop that will do work on a bike of that vintage, so check around first if you aren't prepared to do the wrenching yourself.

Check the bike over well and ask a lot of questions before buying. Sometimes a cheap bike can become an expensive one really fast if you don't know what to look for.

The mileage seems extremely low for a bike of that year. Looks for signs of the odometer being messed with or excessive wear on parts of the bike such as pegs and hand grips that don't jive with it only having 10K on it.
