I found an ad for an 09 v max very low miles, not laid down or mechanical troubles clear title for $2800? Sounds too cheap. Wondering whats up while waiting for E mail reply.

Yes, it most likely is, but what if it isn't?

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #3 on:** May 19, 2010, 08:46:04 PM »

That'd be awesome! I'd love me a Vmax, any year. Though I'd prefer an '85-'86 with the chain drive...

fastbroshi · « **Reply #4 on:** May 19, 2010, 08:52:52 PM »

That bike lists for like 18-20k brand new. I smell a rat. Or a typo.

Don R · « **Reply #5 on:** May 19, 2010, 08:57:00 PM »

right, I asked about the price. even with a 1 in front of the other numbers it's cheap.

ask if he can cash a third party check and give you the balance and the bike

Scam for sure...FYI, Vanilla gorrila, there are no chain drive V-Max. Never has been......

Yeah? well I want a belt driven one for $200
payable in 10 weekly money orders.

He most likely saw on that was converted to chain drive.
Do a search on chain drive vmax and you get a number of hits.

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #10 on:** May 20, 2010, 07:05:56 AM »

Really??? I had been told the first couple years ran chain, but they switched to shaft because of all the torque... Hmm, guess you can't believe everything you hear! Oops. At least I have you guys to straighten me out! Thanks! In that case, I'll take ANY year Vmax!

The E-mail got returned, it's only for sale through the E bay vehicle purchase protection plan. but not currently listed on E bay. I am still wondering, I can't find that on E-bay either. She is on a trip for unicef and is donating the money to charity

Wow! I see she has a great 2009 Acura she's selling for the same amount as the VMax. I've gotta jump on this!!

Oooops! My bad! It's actually an Acura VMax hatchback!!

Don R · « **Reply #16 on:** May 20, 2010, 02:28:28 PM »

Yes thats the one, One ad says Litchfield Il. which is Springfield area and one says Chatham Il. which is near Chicago, I'm in the middle and the ads overlapped. I'm gonna ask to see it and offer to pay extra since she is giving the money to charity.

fastbroshi · « **Reply #17 on:** May 20, 2010, 02:43:41 PM »

Dude you should totally string them along and get the cops involved.

Duke McDukiedook · « **Reply #18 on:** May 20, 2010, 02:51:09 PM »

No, it's not a scam, I just sent my check to Nigeria.

People are poor and honest there, right?

Don R · « **Reply #19 on:** May 20, 2010, 03:03:02 PM »

It's in New Boston also. I'm surrounded by cheap V maxes.

Don R · « **Reply #20 on:** May 20, 2010, 08:29:23 PM »

You see it's very simple, the V was advertised in many places ( all over the country) to ensure a quick sale, I just need to give them my shipping address, they will send me the bike, I transfer the money to the E-bay vehicle purchase protection account where they will hold it until I have recieved the bike and checked it out for 3 days. Then if there is no problem with the bike I tell them to release the funds. Very safe and simple.

Unfortunately there are enough people who will fall for it.

Don R · « **Reply #22 on:** May 20, 2010, 08:35:19 PM »

If it cost more it would almost be believable. I bet some have paid, this ad was a month old.
