You are going to get lots of opinions on this but the answer really is "it depends." There are a lot of barely used bikes out there and some demos that have been ridden but still are eligible for warranty. There are over priced bikes too. And there likely will be significant price increases (yet again) on 2022 bikes, so "it depends." Can you wait, etc.? We have a Salsa Warbird DI2 Ultegra that is a demo with full warranty selling for 10% off list and it has less than 100 miles on it, so practically new and the new version that replaces it is several undred dollars more. Look at each deal individually for what you think is reasonable, and make your decision that way.
