My friend who lives miles away and knows nothing about bikes has been offered this. I said as long as it all works it seems reasonable.
Not really up on this sort of thing, advice please.

Solid bike, if it suits your riding go for it.

Usual caveats on bearings, suspension services etc

If he likes it and has £650 and doesn't want to haggle then yes it's worth it

From what I can work out, this is a 2008 model, so I'd say probably not - £500 maybe

Always haggle! Offer 500. Don't budge, stick to it, then give it a couple days and maybe go to 550. There will always be another bike for sale

50-60% of RRP After one year then minus 10% a year after that, roughly. It's nothing special.

He offered £600 and the guy won't budge, says he will PX it if he doesn't get £650.
The guy reckons its 3 years old.

It's definitely not an 08 Model. The forks, cranks, brakes, shock are all 2010 or later.

It's a [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain-bikes/product/review-cube-bikes-ams-pro-10805/ ]2009 model[/url] in original spec. £1449 RRP new, and worth £650. I wouldn't quibble with that price.

I think you'd struggle to get that much if it was split, so I'd say no.

There's not a huge demand for short-travel 26ers now - especially ugly German ones - as the seller will probably realise if he sticks to that price.

If it's an '09 model I'd be asking Cube if spares are still available.

Looking at ebay it does actually seem a fair price, item 331072925619 is very similar and went for £700.

I bought the same cranks in 2009, so I'm happy to run with the other suggestions that it's a 2009 ^^^
