How much should I pay for a Trek 7.5 fx wsd 2006 model?

Question

I am looking to buy a trek 7.5 fx wsd bike. The current models are running around $730.00. I found a used 2006 model for $450. Is that a good price? Am I sacrificing anything by buying a 2 year old bike that has only been ridden 20 miles? I'm just getting into biking.

Answer 1

It's a good price only if:

1) the frame is the right size for you, and

2) the previous owner has not badly abused the bike.

(I would be kind of suspicious if someone claims "he only rode it for 20 miles").

Answer 2

Real Simple...... Go For It

   I use a 7.3 fx for my road training... this bike is bullet proof, responsive to pedal input and stable at high speeds, it climbs like a sherpa with hemorrhoids as it is a bit heavy, but an extremely dependable bike!!

Answer 3

It's in like new shape - great

Does it fit you correctly?

The price is very good.

What you lose is a warranty. With Treks the frame still may be covered though. Go for it.
