Neighbor is getting rid of it and asking $250, is that a good deal? 54 inches high and biggest leaf is 15 inches wide. Said they had it for 5 years since covid.

That’d be worth about $60 where I live
I’d pay $20 for one from a big box store and grow it to that size myself. Bonus: they often come with more than one plant in the pot. Separate and you got 3-7 plants for $20.
Not even close to 250. I could get a better plant of slightly smaller size for 60 from the retailer, and a really nice really big one for 120.
There’s that mess of a little sick and string for support, the leaves all face in different directions meaning it’s been turned here and there, and all the newer leaves are smaller and have fewer holes then the one you measured. Plus the newer petioles look etiolated. Overall, this plant has been weakened by improper care and a lack of light and now looks a mess. Your neighbours either vastly overestimate their green thumb, or they’re trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
Personally I don’t think I would pay more than 30, and treat it as a glow-up project.
Ask for a cutting for $20 and grow one
I could buy a healthier, equally sized monstera from Home Depot rn for $25. That plant doesn’t look good at all.
I would think 40 max tbh
