Need advice for buying an refurbished trek bike

[cecebar]

I'm looking for a decent road/hybrid bike for a good (cheapish) price and found an old trek multitrack 720 bike on craigslist. But I don't know if it's a good deal or not. What do you guys think? Worth it?

Opinions vary but I think it is over priced. It is also a very small frame so unless you are pretty short I would look for a larger frame. I have seen these bike listed from $45.00 to $350.00 depending on condition and year made. I am guessing $200.00 is a more reasonable price but there again, opinions vary.

I have one just like it in my basement. It belongs to my stepdaughter. She paid less than $350 for it brand new, I think.
