Not quite enough info for an informed comment.
Which model is it?
Do you have access to .40 S&W ammo?
At today's prices it probably is a decent price, if you like the .40 S&W round, I do.
It looks like S&W is eliminating a significant number of their .40 S&W M&P models, so a M2.0 that you want may not be forthcoming.

I own (3) FS M&P 1.0 LE trade in 40's and (1) M&P 2.0 40 Compact. So, yes, the 1.0 is a great pistol. So is the 2.0.
$400 for a 1.0 is a great price in todays gun market.

I would say that if the gun is in good condition and you really want it, that in today's market, $400 is probably a pretty good deal. I own a full size .40 1.0 and I really like mine.

Umm... Did I miss something here? There's been an M&P40 2.0 out for years now, so unless by "wait for" you mean wait for one to become available near you, you can probably find a M2.0 online right now.
That being said, the M2.0 models really aren't that much of an upgrade over the 1.0 models in the practical sense, in fact they were only made in the first place to compete in the US Military trials a few years back, and their so-called "improvements" were really just modifications made to meet military specifications.
Seriously, the "improvements" to the M&P 2.0 line were basically a beefed up internal frame chasis, (which never failed on 1.0 models to begin with and only made the gun heavier) some modifications to the slide stop to prevent it from disengaging if a magazine was seated to firmly, (which was more of a helpful feature in a gunfight if you ask me) and some abbreviated forward slide serrations which are only good for press checks, on a gun with a witness hole in the top of the chamber so that you can see if a round is in the chamber without the need of a press check.
So yeah, get the 1.0 and don't look back.

There were some other revisions involved in the M&P 2.0 pistols. Extractor boss, pins being different design and smaller, etc. I haven't got the 2.0 armorer manual yet, but that's just what I was told by someone at the factory and another armorer who has taken the armorer class including the 2.0's. (My 5 M&P classes were all for the original model, and then a Shield class.)
My last issued weapon was a 2016 production M&P 40. Fine pistol. The bulk of the ongoing revisions and refinements to the 1.0 were pretty much done, as I was told, by the time 2012 came along. (Rolling changes were happening in 2010, as I recall.)
The CHP chose the "1.0" model, BTW, even though the M&P 40 2.0 was available to them. Maybe our member who is a CHP gunsmith might see this thread and offer some insight. What I heard, from someone from S&W, familiar with the CHP contract, was that the agency basically felt that since the standard M&P 40 had been in production for 10 years (Jan '06 release date, to 2016), it ought to have any bugs worked out and all the necessary refinements incorporated. It had become a proven product, in other words. The 2.0's were still rather "new".
The 2016 production "1.0" M&P 40 I used for a while as an issued weapon was a fine pistol. Stock, aside from that SKU having night nights. Decent trigger and a tack driver right out of the box with our 180gr duty loads. Nothing I'd have changed if I'd been going to buy it. I just didn't have any interest in buying another full-size pistol, since I seldom carry the big ones I already own, and prefer smaller models.
Just my thoughts.

Not sure where you are from. But where I live in SW PA. A local shop just got 200 LE trade in. 40 cals. both Glocks and M&Ps. the prices are 350 up to 4 and some change. Alot of nice fire arms for decent prices. So the price your looking at doesn't sound bad.The M&Ps were all 1.0
