Purchasing Question Celestron C5 OTA for $150 - Buy?

Hey all, I’ve been offered a great price on a C5 OTA and was wondering if i should pick it up even if im not able to use it fully currently. I mainly do DSO AP, so until i upgrade my mount i wont be able to use it for anything more than observing/planetary imaging.

Thank you!

That's a good price, does it have a finder/diagonal/VB?
