Oh, yes, at this point I would be looking to only buy a bike totally outright, in cash, and yeah, ideally something lightly used, I'd rather ask current owner of the bike about its history...

Probably gonna be the case that the average person selling their own bike is gonna be either much more truthful and transparent, or at least worse at lying, than any kind of a dealer.

It seems pretty common that people will buy a bike, ride it a bit, and then just realize they aren't actually using it that much, after a year or two.

So I would be looking to rehome that kind of a bike.

Of course of course, familiarize myself with a bit of how to repair that make/model prior to going and looking at it, so I would be better able to spot some kind of trouble indicator, that the seller may either be trying to hide or just genuienly not have noticed.
