I like the Model 11-87, in fact I own one in their (no longer available) Sporting Clays configuration: 28" light contour, ported, vent-rib barrel threaded for RemChokes; nickel-silver receiver, and upgraded wood fore and aft. Mine has never given me any trouble, points well, and (since 2001) has done everything I ask of it.
As for whether the one you've found is a good deal, consider Remington's MSRPs (courtesy of their Website) for the currently available versions:

If you are truly considering purchasing this gun, then my best recommendation is to have a competent gunsmith give it a thorough vetting and pattern it to check for barrel problems before you part with your hard-earned brass.
Good luck, and good shooting!
