2013 Mexican Strat - should I buy?

Hey guys, i've never bought a second hand guitar and I was looking at a second hand strat because I have an ESP LTD that just isn't good for clean sounds.
I was looking at this guitar on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013-Fender-Stratocaster-Guitar-Sunburst-Ex-Condition-/272661139805?hash=item3f7bded15d:g:k0YAAOSw53NY-Q7J
I would like to know, is this an acceptable price point (Does it seem too good or too expensive) and will I be dissapointed  with the quality? I belive it's the Mexican stratocaster.

My alternative is spending about £100 and buying a new Crafter Relevation which is sort of a fender wannabe, but is that a good idea? I'm not that sure what to look for - I am just looking for something more versatile then my ESP (which i'll keep anyway)

Any insight appreciated.

that's a good price. playing for a while, I know what's good and what's not. it looks promising, it's a good brand, and I have experience with the brand. go for it, my dude.

mexican strats ain't that bad, I have a mexcian too. You can get very lucky with these and get a good equipped instrument. Price seems reasonable, and I'd take the fender all day over a 100 pound guitar. And as a benefit of the fender, if you don't like it, you probably can sell it for the same amount as you bought it
