So I bought a stratocaster from craigslist a few weeks ago, and I have the link bellow

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ ... 75230.html

The owner replaced the "cheap pickups" with two fender standard single coils and either a Fralin humbucker or fender standard humbucker (the owner forgot, what type of pickup it was because he swapped it from another guitar that he bought).

I Know it says "squier series" on the head stock, but I researched it and apparently the Mexican "Squier Series" black label stratocasters were made made from surplus American bodies and necks (I don't know how true that is) but were filled with cheap squier electronics.

So overall how good of a deal did I get for this strat?

The link is dead. Maybe post some pics and the serial, people would begin to be a little helpful to you.

Since your link is dead - poster has removed his ad - and since you don't tell us what you paid for it, there's no way we could begin to answer your question.

From the information you supplied. I would say that the guitar is worth what you paid for it. Hope this helps.
