5 Stroke Anybody???

OTOH, he selling a new bike, and if it breaks he says he'll charge to repair it!
That's hardly fit for purpose.
He's also selling new motor vehicles and isn't (as far as I can tell) licensed to do so.

Pretty dodgy if you aks me.

Doesn't matter if it's new, it's a private sale. CGA doesn't apply. There are certain statutes relating to misrepresentation, fair trading and the like that have been applied previously by the courts though.

Not true, not a private sale. Selling ten of them.

I think its a lifan or something, saw one at a mall for sale, I wouldnt ride one for $100. the frame and swingarm are absolutly tiny as!
http://www.lifan.com/en/showproduct.asp?id=5694 This is a red one, the one i saw was blue like the one on trademe.
I feel sorry for the person who bought it in the end, I wouldnt consider them to be roadworthy. I even had hesitations about the quality of the frame on their 250 virago knock off and that was much better built. Tyres looked to be absolute shite too on the one I saw.

Yep, under the Motor Vehicles Sales Act 2003 you'd have him on a number of things, although you would need to prove a number of things.

[Hans]

More the opposite problem. I'm not drunk enough.

[sunhuntin]

They're allowed for motor vehicles, aren't they? Because you have to be able to check it out before buying.

nope, only under a classified. thats why theres always bitching on the trademe boards...people want to buy stuff like lounge suites, but cant go and look at it first.

With vehicles you can enter a phone number as part of the listing process. So I doubt they wouldn enforce it with vehicles if you added your number as a comment.

[vifferman]

Yeah, but it also says this, on the vehicle selling section:
"In both cases potential buyers can contact you directly to ask you questions or view the cars."

This would certainly apply to him:

If he has at least 10 bikes he's selling, then he's a dealer. If he's a dealer, then he has to abide by regulation petaining to registered motor vehicle dealers selling new vehicles.
