How much should l pay for one thats about 2 yrs old, ,, (05-06 model?) say 50% of what the current (07-08 offered in shops now )model is worth? Generally how much do they depreciate after rolling off the shop floor(or having one owner?) thanks for any advice! -- Meeba |

Let it slide a while, if no one picks it up, offer less and see if he accepts it. SCotty -- scotty72 |

Some bikes are lower/higher specced now, and RRP should reflect that. The current model of my roadie is lower specced than my one, so I was happy to pay mopre than 50% of current, but I only paid 50% of its new price. Tony F |

There. I said it. Aren't there some kind of meetings I should go to? Of course, the scummerer is merely N+1, and while it will do more kms, I'll be on it for less time, and mainly using it for commuting duties. Although I did find myself out one night seeking out "the long way", and hills. When I got home, I had to scrub and scrub to wash away the feeling of shame. I still prefer mtbs, but scumming it ain't so bad. Just between you and me, in the right circumstances, scumming can be fun. shhhhhh... Tony F off all bikes after a trip to the vet |
