I am looking to get my first road bike. This one has caught my eye. I have a few questions ofc
Would this be a good starter bike?
The seller offered me $850 plus 2 sets of wheels. Is that worth it?

Worth it? Depends on what you want to do and if it fits. I have a newer litespeed and love it, have ridden older ones and love them too. It’s hard to find them under $1k in my area so it’s probably reasonably priced.
Do you cycle regularly? What’s the terrain around your place like?
That gearing will be really challenging depending on the answers.
My basic thinking is, No, it’s not a good starter bike.
Price is about right and if they’re legit, the Hed wheels are a plus.
Like /u/Sensitive-Quiet6020 said, $1k is the starting point for a Litespeed Ti bike. The age (with the older threaded style headset) takes the value down, but the wheel set bumps the price back up into the $1k range.
