Last bike (rode bike) I purchased new was in the mid 1980s. I had a few bucks and was riding an older steel framed beast. I remember the salesman asking me "how much I intended to ride". I got a good quality brand. Nice frame, rims, derailleur. I think I spent $400-$500. I ended up riding 20000-300000 miles over the course of 10 yrs. I managed a couple century rides and made the trip around Oahu. I would say buy a quality bike and remember, you get what you pay for. Make sure you get quick release rims, makes tire changing, rim removal easier.
If moneys no problem, the sky is the limit. If you want to save some for your Saab, then a more reasonable approach is recommended. I bet you can get a good model for under a grand.
PS, don't scrimp on the seat or you'll suffer in the end.
Do post after you've made your purchase.
