alright folks,

basically I have a chance of buying a brand new Genesis Altitude 30 (2009) model from a local cycle store - he is wanting £1100 for it but said he is open to offers

It's brand new and has been sitting in his warehouse for the past year or so...

it retailed at £1499 back in 2009 and I was looking to offer him about £900 -£1000

anyone think this is resonalble or would you offer lower since there has been 2 models since then -e.g - Altitude 30 2010 and the new Latitude 30 2011

any advice will be grateful
cheers

    Offer him some Haribo and haggle up from there.

    If it's any help my Rize went from £1699 to £999 in the space of a year and more recently a Whyte 19 went from £1599 to £1350 and it would've gone to £1250 if some muppet hadn't gone and bought it.

    Offer £1000 and meet halfway. £1050 seems reasonable, £900 is taking the piss.
