) IMHO, the specific model of the bike is more important than the year. Look for closeouts, left-overs, etc. If I had not found a new complete bike within my budget, I would have sought a clean, used bike with a 100% chromoly frame. EVERYONE rides a used bike. 
Hope this helps.

I recently owned an Haro X-03, I wouldnt buy one newer than 07, as the newest ones are junk.
100 chromoly frames are pricey, yet worth it. Id get a Redline, or take a look at the Dirty brand, nice price, good parts.
where are ya, I can take a look for something close to ya.
