$100 here. Doesn't look too bad but I'm not knowledgeable about bicycles. I just know I want one that's low maintenance and as light as possible.

Shimano Tourney derailleurs are just genuine garbage and I don't come at this from an elitist standpoint, I've spent a lot of time fixing those into somewhat-workable for friends cheap bicycles and they're the only one I've come across that manage to warp out of true while sitting unused in a shed. Definitely not low maintenance at all and especially not if you've never even adjusted a properly working derailleur you're gonna pull your hair out especially with that insane ratio drop on the first hill gear OPs picture has going on.
Also that website has to be wrong, they're listing an SRAM MRX twist shifter and the tourney derailleur. They have incompatible pull ratios, that'd never gonna work out. I'd assume it's just a tourney twist shift on OPs picture there and honestly those are garbage, too and a PITA in to service.
That twist shift definitely looks like a SRAM product, Could it be one of the Sachs derived models?
Ok that's good to know, that would be a deal breaker
