I believed you said your range was as high as $500.
That's what I was referring to. The OP.
They are MSRP'd at $659. but with one of the various 10% off sales, you get it for about $599.00

As for buying used, that Specialized ("if" it fits) is a great deal if you like Specialized bikes and if it fits.
Fit and the actual bike should be prioritized over price. You may find that a Felt fits you better.
I came across a lot of great deals before I bought new. I went with new because the deals didn't
turn out to be so great once I got on the bikes and rode them a bit. The Trek fit me well.
