You'd get a bigger selection in a single place as a used bike store. Makes shopping easier.
But again, if the old model you found for $375 fits well, is fun to ride, and you really like it and it's in your price range, go for it.
My 'test bike' to see if I wanted to ride more cost me $350 in 2003. It lasted me 14 years.
So if you really like the $375 bike, it might just be the right one for you.
