Dude.... you can get a brand new Tequilo for $1600.... I think the bike shops were spinning you a yarn to tell you that one was worth $1800.
I got a used one of similar vintage for $300.

52cm i think my wife is 5'4.
Its a 2000 or 2001 i cant remember quintana roo tequilo. Its in great shape maybe 1500 miles. has not been ridden in the last few years. tuned up last year. new tires, and seat. I took it in to 3 bike shops to find out how much to sell it for they all recommended 1800. But im asking 1000 for a quick sell. its well worth it so no low balls please!I also asked about the size they said it would fit anyone 5'2-5'8 comfortably.

I'm surprised a 52cm bike would fit someone 5'4." I'm taller than that and it would be a stretch for me (but then again, my legs aren't that long).

The Spinergy wheels are pricey, so that might not be a bad deal.
I know every body type is different, but there's no way I can see that a 52 would fit someone 5'4". I'm 5'3" and I ride a 48cm tri bike (and my legs are kinda long for someone so short).Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

TG- Those spinergy wheels WERE pricey!!
That is an old bike, and is not worth anywhere NEAR that price!! I'm sorry, buit I just have to say it.
We see many "vintage" tri bikes come through w/older carbon wheels.
In fact we have a regular customer that has these wheels on a bike of similar vintage, and our service manager told him the other day "umm, I think these wheels have about hit the end of their life span"...
Now if they were only used in races they may be ok. But are you willing to take the risk??
I ALWAYS warn people to tread very carefully with used carbon wheels. We have seen a lot of wheels with stress cracks. It's not fun to call the customer with THAT news..
Consider this...
Last year on backcountry.com you could get a seduza (carbon frame, but mid level componets) for 1250.00 on a prev. year blowout
and for around 1500.00 you could get the Caliente with flashpoint (A zipp brand) wheels and a very nice componet gruppo.
And these were FULL CARBON bikes! Yes, they were blowouts and actually were overstocks from England. But the frame was carbon. I would always pick a carbon frame over race wheels.
Anyway, I wouldn't pay more than 400-500 dollars for that bike.
Sorry...
