Example:

A shop near me is selling brand new Trek Domane SL6's with 11sp Ultegra mechanical for $3400:
Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3 - Village Cycle Center | Chicago, IL

TPC has a used 2021 Trek Domane SL6 (11sp mechanical Ultegra) that has some significant scrapes/scratches for $3250:
Trek Domane SL 6 Road Bike - 2021, 54cm | Weight, Price, Specs, Geometry, Size Guide | The Pro's Closet (theproscloset.com)

LBS has Emonda SL5's for $2599:
Trek Emonda SL 5 - Village Cycle Center | Chicago, IL

TPC has a 2022 Emonda SL5 with light scratches: $2599 (same price as new?)
Trek Émonda SL 5 Road Bike - 2022, 54cm | Weight, Price, Specs, Geometry, Size Guide | The Pro's Closet (theproscloset.com)

I'm sure I could find similar comparisons across other brands. Bikes are available again and being discounted by many shops at the moment. If you're looking for deals, start with your local shop.
