I’ve been looking for a 996 for a while, I know the basics, but know where near as much as some of my fellow forum members, I would ask when the belts were changed, is it 996 s on the log book, the basic stuff Could you good people cast your eyes over this 996 for me & give opinions, high res pictures would be useful I know Also, would there be anyone knowledgeable willing to view the bike on my behalf who lives near, I’m 195 miles away Steve https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/223506795944
It looks a nice, clean, original & genuine bike from the pictures. If it were me I'd contact the seller and ask for photos/scans of the paperwork to be emailed to me, check the service book and receipts for services, if he has those. The fact he has the original bill of sale implies he might.
Yes you have a point , but unfortunately I’m not knowledgeable enough to ask questions / view it , without some forum back up.
I am looking for a good clean example of the 996 Desmoquatro to add to my little collection and this would seem to be one. It’s a public holiday today, my gf has gone home and it is raining so I have time on my hands to fanny around on the internet. I will be back at work when the auction is ending however so it will probably be overlooked. Do It!
7k might be a bit low , judging by finished eBay auctions & asking prices ( I know asking price isn’t sold price )
As said, looks to be in good condition which, to me would be more important than whether it has new belts etc. - as I'd do a full service regardless and at that mileage there shouldn't be anything serious or worn out. Not in the market but if I was that would get my interest.
I'm also bidding on this bike. Sorry but looks mint. I've asked what the reserve is but not got an answer. I reckon he wants a lot more than 7k for it.
The only bit i don't like and is off putting is his terms;The bike is sold as seen with no warranties provided etci never placed that on a advert ever!
