    Looks to good to be true, but would certainly get a hpi check done on it

    Sometimes people just need to get rid ! Looks very nice and if HPI,d should be fine

    I always find a quick chat will let you know if its honest or not !

    Looks like a scam, he wants your phone number so he can call you for any contact.
    It will either be I have had to move to Spain and once you have wired to money to my bank I will put it in a container

    Or

    Ring you then hang up the you call back and while its ringing its actually conected to a premium rate line and the ringing is just a recording

    Dont like the look of that feedback, as a seller its old, as a buyer, you cannot see one item that has been bought.
    I wonder if its an hacked account

    scam.. when i was looking to buy my m3 the same cars kept coming up week after week , one week it would be for sale in devon and the next in leeds or summat daft. usually scam ads have an email address to click onto ,which takes you away from ebay site, with an excuse as to why they can't be contacted via ebay. or they ask you to leave a £100 deposit to secure the bike, if they are doing this with 100s of false adverts per day they make a fortune.
    i was seeing at least 4 scam m3 s per day whilst i was looking .
    carrying out hpi will not show the bike as stolen if it is a picture from an older genuine (copied )advert.
    be very very careful when buying off the internet there are a lot of scammers out there.
