Comparing new to used is an apples to oranges proposition. Find a bike that you like (new or used) that meets your needs and fits your budget.
i dont focus on used bikes from craigslist. my comments were directed at the often asked question, "im on a budget. what bike can you recommend that will offer the most value for money?" the "apples and oranges" comparison you offer is nonsensical. we can easily compare the value of used bikes to new ones. in fact, i find it kind of baffling that this has to be explained. although, in your particular case, not so much, as you are a dealer who's purpose of being in this forum is to sell your products.
