Hi all
Just a quick question:
Say you where offered to purchase from a Dealer a 2011 Honda TRX 250TM for $4990 from the USA (with 3 month Dealer warranty and it appears to be in really good condition but has no instrument panel at all, and have therefore no idea how many hours it has had or kilometres traveled) would you buy it?
Or would you rather not buy it and safe up to buy a new one here in Australia for $ 6400 |

| To me, its not a big enough saving to make it worth wile, especially with the work you want it to do... and the question mark over the used bikes' history... go the new one... go in with cash, you might get a better price. |

wouldnt buy one I couldn't look over and ride first especially if the dealer is in another country -a 3 month warantee wouldn't be much use then Personally k's and hours dont mean much More important is condition, regular servicing by someone who knows what they are doing, where its been used in the past and what for

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback-it may have been a silly question / poll, but I just don't know enough about these things to make an informed decision
Your comment confirmed my initial thought-Thanks |
