How much is too much?

I was just looking for some opinions on prices for a new gun that I want to buy. It's a Colt .45 Gold Cup National Match, in very good condition, with about 2000 rounds put through it. I've been asked $700.00 for it. I really like it and need something larger than my Colt Defender for shooting IPSC here locally. Any opinions or advice greatly appreciated. By the way, this is my first post, but have lurked for a long time. A lot of helpful information is always floating around here. Thanks in advance.
 
In what IPSC class do you plan to compete? I'm not sure I'd start with a Gold Cup unless you're staying pretty stock...Even then, the sights aren't that good for the purpose.

I'm still of the belief that you're better off with a rusty clunker--rebuild it for a lot less money than you'd put into either a new plain-jane or a Gold Cup.

Grip safety; built-up trigger-bar as well as the hammer/sear contact; sights; magazine well...Throat & polish. This is a good bit of add-on $.

FWIW, Art
 
Art, I'm not sure what class it's in. It would be the first time that I shoot. It's at the local indoor gun range here in town. I appreciate your advice, all the add-ons are something I had thought about. I was also wondering about the price for the gun, is it too much, what are the Gold Cup National Match going for?
