it depends how the components were treated, and what they are. if they are high grade campagnolo components that were taken care of, they will last quite a while. if they are low grade components that were ignored, they won't. that said, if you need to replace components, you can get inexpensive stuff at various bike discount places, like nashbar or performance.
the most important thing about buying a bike is the size. if you get the wrong size, it will be uncomfortable and you won't ride it, you will have wasted your cash. make sure it fits. i hope this helps a bit. if you have any other questions about bicycles, please ask, i'll be glad to help.
