buying a Cervelo P2C

[gabefoo]

hi everyone, I’ve been looking to purchase a TT bike in addition to my current road bike as I’m looking to improve in triathlon. I previously completed an Ironman 70.3 using a 2009 Specialized Roubaix Elite with clip-on aero bars.

I’ve found this Cervelo P2C (maybe ~2010?) being sold with a Tacx Neo 2 trainer. It is listed for $1800 CAD, the owner said it has mainly been used indoors on the trainer, and is using a SRAM force groupset.

I wanted to get some feedback on what you guys think on the value of the bike and if it’s a good deal?

This may be of help? I can't comment on the bike or TT/triathlon but with eight years experience of riding a C3 I would say Cervelo make superb bikes.

Seems quite steep for the age of the equipment but nothing looks like it needs replacing, but as above Cervelo make lovely bikes which hold their value.

This helps! Regarding the bike I was mainly skeptical since it is quite old and may need replacing parts in the future, but it is good to know the bikes are superb. I was thinking of negotiating down to $1500-$1600 due to the age of the equipment which may allow for some minor upgrades in the future

Just googling Cervelo P2C shows they are available quite a lot cheaper.
