For Sale Ebay Bikes

Discussion in 'Ducati Bikes For Sale' started by Rob, Jun 13, 2014.

  1. Wasn’t there such a discussion on here a long while back over another bike :thinkingface:
     
  2. I saw this and fancied a punt, always wanted one but exhausts don’t look like original Termi’s ( alloy ones were standard ) and it’s not been MOT’d for 5 years but the mileage has increased 10000 miles. Why don’t sellers put more in the description when selling a classic 27 year old £12k bike ?

  3. A poor description wouldn't put me off as much as a mis-leading or incorrect description. Contact him and get to actually talk to the seller IMO, ask him why the mileage /MOT doesn't tally. Remember for some folk they buy something that they use for a while then get distracted by another hobby or maybe he's had ill health hoping to recover but just didn't for whatever reason.

    Fast edit, where do you get the 10k in mileage? Just checked the MOT history herehttps://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk

    The mileage hasn't increased by that amount?

  4. How many numbers came into the UK for these machines.?
     
  5. Nearly 10k then :thinkingface:
     
  6. The front discs are wrong & agree the profile of exhausts looks like they are not original Termi’s. Think sometimes people put less info to get proper dialogue with potential buyers/see if people are serious?
     
  7. 8years of no MOT

    No idea where the 10K comes from? On it's MOT history looks approx 200 Miles.

    May2006 8,522
    May 2014 8,690

    They aren't Termi's IMO, the seller may not be aware of this though.
     
  8. It's got 18,000 miles on it now :thinkingface:
     
  9. I don't see that info on the listing?

    Ah in his listing blurb, I'd still ring him to ask why the discrepancy. He's not exactly been that good in the description might be a error on his part from another listing if he's a trader just lazy maybe.
     
  10. I’m not sure tbh. Someone on the 851/888 forum had the numbers so hopefully it will be resurrected.

  11. So what's the answer then as the mileage is 18k advertised or is this a mistake:thinkingface:

  13. I think it's an error, it's too easily exposed to question for it to be deliberate IMO, I'd speak to the vendor.
     
  14. yeah revisited the listing, it's short on photo's and on description I still think it's an input error. I've done it with listings, we're not infallible. :)

  15. You could be right on this possible typing error,i'd ring him but unfortunately the trumpet is in the van at the minute.
     
  16. I’ve sent the seller some questions inc the mileage query....
