Sounds like a good price. A 95-06 is the same bike so the year isn't that important, it's more about condition. If the bike has been "fully rebuilt" you should be fine other then maybe checking the jetting. When you go to look at it just make sure it is what they say it is. Look at the pictures of peoples bikes and you will get a better idea of what the different years look like. And you will still want to look the bike over very good to make sure the rebuild consisted of more then a pressure washing.
