Great deal. That is, about to the percentage point, the deal I got on my bike. New MSRP was $650, and I paid the guy $250 cash. He bought it new in 2015, parked it in his garage, and decided to move it out in the summer of '16. I just happened to be the first guy who called on the ad. I wasn't even looking for a bike with suspension, either (I've bored you with this story before I think). It's my size, the color combo on it is gorgeous, and I knew I had to have it. Like you, I bought it at a 60% discount, for what is TRULY like new.
PTzach, if you really are interested in buying used, the right deal will come around. I still remember the high I felt driving home, knowing I just figuratively STOLE the bike in the back of my truck.
