Grab it if it's still available. I don't have to tell you Remington makes quality guns. You can't go wrong with a Remington. I have the exact same 1100, 28" barrel, modified choke, & ventilated rib, bought it in 1970, when I got out of the service, I think I paid $200 for it. Used it for skeet, trap, and hunting for years. Was so happy with it, I purchased two more, another 12 gauge, and a 20 gauge. I also ended up buying two additional barrels, one with screw in chokes, and a cantilevered slug barrel for deer hunting in shotgun only areas. Literally thousands of rounds through the gun. I take it down completely once a year and give it a good cleaning. The only thing that "broke" is the cap & screw on the pistol grip fell out on one of those field excursions, haven't bothered to replace it.
As far as pieces of the toe & buttplate being busted off, that part of the gun don't shoot. The only parts that you might have to replace are the rubber gaskets.
