Yeah - make sure the seller isn't "out of state", and "getting ready to be deployed overseas and just has to get rid of his baby".... They're everywhere!!!
In my recent searches the last 6 months, I'll bet I had no less than a dozen "good deals" turn out to be something like this. For every one of them, I started out asking questions like "please make a list of all the defects that you know of", and "please send some more pictures with more detail". Then it was painfully obvious when the replies came back that they were scammers. They must catch some people though - I just read last week where a woman recently discharged from the Air Force (I think) got ripped off by a deal through Craigs where she wired money to someone supposedly selling her a car through "Ebay Motors".... Sad.....

- January 11, 2014, 09:12:23 AMI personally agree with all the other member comments on thoroughly giving the scoot a look about . One or two things are going on here :
1) you stumbled on this sale having " really good " luck and probably that type of guy that hits big when all others fail at the casino 
2) It's one of those deals like the old saying goes , " it's to good to be true . "
We all love new members to join us around here , and hope all goes well in your favor . Keep us posted and DO post pics 
You'll understand why 
..... LOL

- January 11, 2014, 08:55:08 AM+1 on the good deal. It would be nice to get one with so few miles. Like everybody else says though- you'll need to either go through it yourself or pay a shop to do it. For me this goes with any used vehicle you buy - especially one with 2 wheels. These things are now 10-15 years old! Yours probably has original tires, with only 800 miles. Budget new tires for sure.

a good deal mint condition 800 miles yes 800 miles
I would make sure it did not have a salvage title. I saw a 1500 for sale on line cheap, because it has a salvage title.

- January 11, 2014, 08:30:47 AMSounds like a good deal, but why so few miles?
With that low of mileage you'll want to go through it real well before hitting the streets. Change all fluids, inspect all rubber parts, lube cables, etc.
