hello again Maxim........this guy selling the Yamaha FZX does take cars from PG (Queensway Auto)back to Terrace ,and sell them there.........I would wonder if he might do the same with motorcycles?   hhhhmmmmm

You know I have bought used vehicles all my life and almost exclusively from the actual owner, not someone who is 'turning' a profit.  At one point in our communication I asked for the previous owner's name and got nothing....if this guy has had it only one summer I want to talk to the person he got it from....anyway.... I am glad I am no longer interested and it goes to show that you really have to try and not let your emotions get control of you when scopeing out any vehicle....make sure things are what the owner claims them to be.  Lie or exagerate to me and you have lost me.  I can not trust anything you say after that.  The used car dealership connection makes sense here, it starts to ad up.  Used car salesmen are not my favorite types....(an understatement, haha)

Time to weigh in I guess. I have been taken by used car dealers and also by the "good old private individual" as well. There is a saying that goes something like this...screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me.  In most cases if I had done my due diligence I would not have been taken.  It isn't really fair to tar everyone with the same brush. There are good sellers and dishonest sellers as well. I buy and sell things, hopefully making a few dollars along the way. How else could I afford to buy the bikes I like. So it helps to support my hobby. If you buy something for what you think is a fair price then what does it matter if the other guy got it for a cheaper price. If I were to buy cheap in Van and sell for more in P.G. so what. Nobody is making anyone buy anything for any price.  Does this make me a bad guy? I would like to think not.

Oops, have to go now, my soapbox is starting to crumble.  Ken.

Nothing wrong with turning a car, bike or two...we all dream of getting that great buy and perhaps selling it for more.  This one person however calls this bike his baby and mint.  Well that to me is slightly deceptive in that he only had it a few months and it has a patched seat at least.  It is not his baby, it is his concubine...especially if he is moving vehicles around trying to better his chances of selling them.  I'd rather buy from the person who had it for 5 years or more.  Not someone who exagerates and is peddling wares.  If it was as described (mint) then I would be thinking differently.  You sure do have to watch the private seller also, choose wisely, be discerning.  I am just saying this seller is not for me.
