Does not seem like a bad set up for the price. I used to shoot a Hoyt havoctec, which came out in about 2003 i think, and that bow was pretty fast. But for $60 does not seem like a deal you can beat. You should try bringing some arrows and a block target with you when you go to look at it and see if he'll let you fling some arrows then you'll know for sure weather or not it's a better bow.
