Alright, for one this bike new would cost around like 1000, right? And its now a year old, and they are still charging more than its worth. The stock components on the bike really, well aren't decent quality. While the suspension design is good, the bike itself isn't. Personally I am not a fan of any f/s bike with a price tag under 1,250, because at that point you start getting quaility stuff for the money.

So, if i got this brand new from a bike shop, with full waranty and everything. I can get it for a deal for $900. Would that be worth it? It would be with the specs above, but the 2002 version.

1 year old a ridden with no warranty. They should start at 50% and you should haggle. Their starting price is too high. This bike isn't high end enough to maintain a decent price. If it were a high end bike it could retain some value due to the quality of parts.

Lifetime warranty. Ask one question. If I go a little extreme (say a 5ft drop) and I break the frame is it covered? This is a trick question but seriously 900$ new is a good bike. That works out to hmmm 1400 canadian. That gives you a lot of choices in a bike.

Do give you some comparison, I saw a new 2001 Specialized Enduro for $1000.00 US at a LBS this spring. A bike far superior to the one you were looking at. Try E-bay, you can get some killer deals for $750.00.
