(As you note, Trek only made the 5200 from 2001 to 2006.) If this bike is in good condition that really is an amazing great price. I think the modern equivalent would be something like the Madone 5.1 (http://www.brightspoke.com/b/2009/trek/madone-5.1.html). Funny, I kept reading your post expecting you to say the bike actually was stolen before being sold on Craigslist. Undervalued bike, seller doesn't know (or doesn't know the importance of) the technical details, these are usually clues that the bike was stolen.
