Trek 1500 WSD

this site has some good info: http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...+WSD&Type=bike

I would wonder why the shop would be selling a 4 year old bike for the original retail price.

Something about that just doesn't quite seem right to me. If you really like the Trek 1500, I'd price it at another couple of shops. That bike (assuming it's an 06) should be at a 30% discount by now (at least). I can think of no reason why they'd still have an 04 (at least not that bodes well for your buying it from them)...

Thanks, all.

After I posted, I did some online research, including checking Bikepedia.com, and realized, yes, the bike is definitely overpriced, especially if it's an '04, and from what I remember about the color, it is an '04. It's funny that the salewoman was kind of surprised when I pointed out to her that the tag said it was an '04, when she previously had told me it was an '06.

I was going to go back there today to test ride it, but I'm glad I didn't, because there's no way I would pay $1100 for it, even if by some miracle it is the '06. There's a couple of shops in the area that are selling the '07 for 900!

I've never bought a bike there (and I doubt I'm going to now), but I've been happy with their service department. Oh, well, maybe that's why some people in my bike club don't have the kindest things to say about this shop!

The 2007 1600 WSD looks like a nice bike, with up-to-the-minute ten speed 105. $900 wouldn't be a bad price.

i'm sorry, but it says something about either the shop or the bike that they still have an 04 hanging around FOUR YEARS LATER!!!
I could see maybe the rogue 06, but not an 04!!
