It is an earlier model in fair to good condition. Oddly enough the earlier models tend to be less sought after. I have a couple and really like them. They are great shavers, like the ones made after those, but also there are not quite as many around. I find the odd or more rare to be more attractive but apparently I am nearly alone in that. I hope you can get it at a price you are both happy with, because that is pretty much as good as it gets.
