Well here goes: I saw a used 2008 carb model CBR150r for sale. Asking price is 28,000 with 21,000 kms on the odometer. The bike is registered in Bangkok.
The current Thai owner, living in Pattaya, never transfered the bike into his name. He has the Greenbook, Transfer and POA forms (or so he says) He agreed to bring the bike, with all documents, to me tomorrow to look at. The photos look good (of course they would) and he said the bike was never wrecked, but engine "has some noise."
I suppose the safest transaction would be to insist that we make the trade at Chonburi DLT (Pattaya will not transfer out of province bikes)
A 2008 CBR150r for 28,000 baht sounds like a bargain, maybe too much so? Stolen? Engine problems?
If I decide to buy it, probably best to insist that the current "Owner" go to the DLT with me; no transfer of the bike to in to my name, then no money
Let me have your honest opinions and don't try to spare my feeling
Thanks guys.
