depends on your expectations, as the 1000 has Shimano Sora components (I
think). For that price, consider previous '03 bikes, second hand or
clearance sales.

Depending on where you are, I saw a sign for a 20% off Trek sale at a
shop on Bridge Road, Richmond, Melbourne...not sure if that will help
you though?

IMHO

be careful buying second-hand bike. The personal sizing of your bike is
critical to your ride. The frame has to fit you just right. Also second hand
bikes may have a "crash history". Given Trek gives you great new bike
warranty (and most other brand new bike brands do also) I would recommend a
brand new bike instead of second hand.

If you know the brand and the size is right for you and it is a top-end bike
that saves you thousand(s) over a new one and you know how to inspect it for
frame damage - fair enough - else caveat emptor.
