What does it matter that it is now three years old
It is still a zero mileage bike.
I suppose if you wanted to turn around & sell i right away the "age" might matter - but why would you do that?
It doesn't matter to me one bit. What matters is that if he were to need a loan for it, or in a year wanted to sell it, it is now a used bike just like all the other '08s. The only advantage it has is that it would still have a warranty on it. That's it.
