I wouldn't consider anything older than 3 years.
Lots of people get entry level hard tails for Christmas, ride them a few months at best thinking they will get fit.
But they don't adjust the diet or do all the other things needed to get fit so the bikes become Garage wall art..
Others trade In and go full suspension...
Keep looking.
Every thing I see on Craig's list is either junk or way over priced, many nice bikes are priced like new,,just go buy new..
