Nute Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Looking for some advice here. Im looking to get a project bike and have found one near Northampton but I can't drive that far at the moment to go see it. My back is better every day but im not up to that length of journey as yet. Ive tried to do some background on the vendor who appears to be a dealer but the web site is so so & the email don't work. The bike is effectively a non runner so I'm looking too negotiate delivery as part of the sale. It's not a kings ransom but im still cautious of transferring a little over 1K (or whatever we agree on) to an unknown person/ small business. Anyone recommend any other checks I can do or ways of safeguarding myself? Their Google reviews are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
