Pretty great deal I'd get it.
What's this deal actually worth?

That camera? apparently $600 new, $380 used.
lucky bastard
The D40 is a great starter DSLR. I've got one, and they're great for regular use, as well as for learning a few of the more intermediate aspects of using a digital SLR. Great deal. You'll definitely want a 55-200mm lens sometime soon, though.
I just mainly want to take landscapes, portraits, and pics of cars... I think the 18-55 will be fine.
Should be fine then, cars and portraits are no problem, might run into a few limitations with that lens on landscapes but it's doable from what I've heard and little experience I've had lately.
sent it to me if you don't want it
Yours today for only 500SheepDollars
From my experience, the 55-350 or whatever telephoto lens you can get, along with an 18-55, is good for landscape photography. The zoom capabilities of the 18-55 are almost non-existent.Quote:

I never use the 70-300mm that came with my camera. I've normally got my 18-55mm on, or a 50mm prime. I'd def. recommend getting one, they're cheap as chips and are crisp as fucking shit.

^ was with the 50mm handheld in a fairly dimly lit garage. The canon 50mm f/1.8 was only around $170NZD, so I can't see a nikon one being over $100USD.
Do want a prime... maybe someday
