How much should I offer for this bike?

[brtspears2]

It is a used 04 Raleigh M80 with less than 100 miles, never been off road. It comes with a basic cateye computer and compact pump. I see the retail of this is $500-600, but he said he paid $550 new with the computer and accesories. I'm thinking of offering $400. What do you think?

Edit: also comes with water bottle cage and specialized helmet (03 model).

EDIT2: Bought it for $350.

Since the 2005 models are coming in I bet you could get a new M80 for $450 in a few months.

2004, completely stock setup.

100 miles is what he estimates since he rode it 5 times last summer, all on paved roads in a park. No pics, but the body and paint is perfect.

$400 sounds like a good offer.

$400 seems good.

What difference does it make if it's been off road? It's a mtb, it's supposed to go off road.

More wear and tear if its been off road which means lower resale value.

I offered $350, he sold it to me. Woohoo.

Now I got two good bikes. A nice 03 Specialized HardRock Pro and this one.

Did the training wheels come with it?

Avid Mechanicals, that's all I have to say. Unless you like to go with Hydraulic Disc brakes.
