Congratulations on your Luger it's quite a nice gun.

As I usually say to people that buy old guns to use at the range, have it properly checked first by a serious gunsmith, and as an additional warning all of these old Lugers should never be fired with modern high speed and high power ammunition because they may be structurally unsound.
Shoot safe.

Looks like a good deal to me if it checks out good and functions reliably. I would most likely made that deal if it were offered to me, as I enjoy shooting P08s.

Sounds like a great deal to me, regardless. There is more than $550 in parts there. In addition, if it is a VoPo/RC, it has been examined & suspect/out of spec parts replaced by East German armorers/original factory workers (who likely were captured and allowed to work in the weapon repair effort).

How's the bore look???
