If you ride it, the price of the base bike is almost inconsequential I paid $1000 for my used recumbent, and now I've ridden 50,000 miles, so the base bike cost is $0.02 per mile. You'll spend more over time on everything that wears out or that you want to improve (tires, brake pads, chain, cables, etc.), and if I was to sell it for half what I paid then that cuts my per mile cost to a penny. If you don't ride it, and then sell it, the cost of buying and selling used is minimal as most of them hold their value reasonably well once someone else has bought it new and then sold it on to you. There are a lot of well cared for and lightly used recumbents out there.
