Default Is atvtraderonline legit?

My question is plain and simple. Is it legit? My cousin is looking at an 08' can-am 800 xt with 150 miles on it. The miles were demo miles and the guy is wanting $4,300. The reason i am questioning this is becasue it looks in great shape and low miles on it and it just seems to good to be true.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

thanks wolverin350guy

I have not used the site you are talking about, but if it seems to good to be true it probably is. Like winning the lottery. Later

those deals are all over craigslist as well, and not just atv's, but cars too. i inquired about a similar atv and kept prying for more detailed information and basically after 2 emails the guy never responded anymore. definitely be careful, and always physically see the machine before paying anything. good luck!

The site itself is legit. The postings you have to use your better judgment on.

Same rules apply there as well as kiji, craigslist and all the others. No wire transfers, if you can't see it, don't buy it unless you know for sure it's an established sales group.

Absolutely true. By very careful. Every sweet deal tastes bitter on the end.
