Ok, I think I found the ride I am going to break down and buy. Here's the skinny: Used, $1750 being sold by authorized dealer...entire rear shock is being replaced by Specialized since the 07 models apparently had something malfunction on them. Also replacing the valving on bike for both front and rear susp. Cartridges being replaced on front fork. Full warranty as if being sold new (5 yrs on front and rear suspension). I confirmed this with Specialized customer service as well.
I saw the bike in person and it is in great shape. I would love to have bought a new 08 or 09 but I just cant afford to do it. I test rode an 08 Enduro SL Comp and loved it but the price tag was just too steep
Interested in any opinions good and bad. It will be nice to get off the HT I've been riding.
