New leica black M4p some suggestions

Hello, I am based in Europe, I found a Leica M4 p with a 35mm summicron 35 f2.

The problem is that the 35mm summicron is the v4 king (plastic one).

 

The camera seems estetically quite ok B+ ( a little bump on the right side not too visible, and some minor scratches not so visible on the edges). The camera has the zync plate, the courtains are ok, the viewfinder quite contrasty, just a little foggy (like that it need to be cleaned the inner part of the large viewfinder glass), a little part of vulcanite on the side lower part is missing. It has no box, and as accessories a black leica  exposimeter.

The lens is 35mm summicron f2 version v4 (plastic one), without box only with lens rectangular  hood. I tried to move the upper external part, and it seems stable but not too bulky, but anyway very compact without haze or fungus or dust inside.Just a minor scratch not too visible.

 

Do you think a price for both around 2500€ is too much? Only the camera 1000?

What do you think would be the cost for only the camera? Can I fix the viewfinder (it seems to work ok, but...)?

Sorry but valuations are not allowed on the forum.

I am not asking for a valuation, I am asking if what I found can be a good starting point for me, or it is better to wait and look at something else. I saw many past posts, and I am totally aligned with also other guys asked. thanks anyway if you could help me.

2500€ seems like a fair deal to me. V4 Bokeh Kings have been selling in the $2000-2200 range here in the USA. Having said that, it all depends on the condition of the camera and lens. I wish you good luck.
