Hey i'm new to skydiving and looking to pickup a rig. I've got a friend selling this kit for $2,000. Is this a good price/rig for a beginner? I'm 6'2" and about 200lbs. I trust the guy, just a bit paranoid and second opinions wouldn't hurt!! Thanks!

The rig is a Javelin. I think it's a J-5 or CJ-5 model. It's definitely
suited to someone my/your size. DOM 1995. Hackey-sac handle, non
collapsible pilot chute, BOC deployment. Cypress is installed and had
its 8 year service in Sept/Oct time frame of '03. Valid life of a AAD is
12 years so it has about 2 1/2 years left (You will be in a new rig by
then). The Main is a Saber 190 with a collapsible slider. It opens slow
which makes the openings super soft. The reserve is a PD 193 if I
remember right. Colors are red, black, and white.
