Should I be regretting paying 175 CAD for an Olivetti Lettera 22?

It works fairly nicely, has the original spools and even cleaning brushes, and still need to do a thorough test, but it definitely needs a bit of restoration. Theres minor rusting on the metal encasement, a few scratches, and I'm gonna have to do some more in depth restoration of the case (renewing the zipper to the case, cleaning it of some stains). I had already negotiated down the price but feel like I should have asked for a bit more off of it for the restoration work I'm going to have to do. (175 CAD is roughly 125 USD)
