Hey im looking for advice on buying
 

im 16 and not very expirenced at all with biking and i was wondering is $600 for a 2002 kona ho chi min a good deal...there is no apperant dents or scrathces in the frame and i mite be able to lower the price to $550 . please fill me in.

Ask the mountain bike forum, they'll know.

I did a little googling. For $600 or even $550 you could get a new 2006 Kona. I did not even find the Ho Chi Min listed.
