Blade on ebay

[Steviebloke954]

I've been watching a Blade on Ebay, it's british registered but its in Spain, the sellers location is Liverpool. It has low mileage and i think a reasonable price. I just feel a bit nervous about going for it for some reason. I would love to bid on it, fly to Spain and drive it back. It was listed a while back, i just wonder why it didn't sell last time. Any of your views would be welcome...Thanks..

hmmmmmm - wonder how its had 3 owners, and has got to mallorca with only 3k miles!!

seems like a good price TBH

i would defo want to have a good chat with the guy about it.........

seems a good price though even if you factor in flight and travel back to uk.

Re: Blade on ebay

1st owner the original owner, 2nd owner importer, and 3rd owner the guy who is selling it.
at a guess id say the car is registered in the UK, but that would start ringing bells as to how he has had it MOT'd and taxed if its been in spain

Er.....has no one concidered it may have been taken to Spain in a trailer ?
My "Little Un" was towed 10.000 miles on one before I bought it.
As for the MOT, many people bring them back to visit family and test them here before they return to Espania.

Re: Blade on ebay

yup - or put in a shipping crate with all the other stuff you need to take abroad when buying a property

the in-laws shipped 2 ISO containers to cyprus including a grand piano (probably bigger than a blade)

does seem like a good deal (LOADS of views and a number of offers)

fair point, forgot about the trailer option. but 3 owners...?
as for driving it to blighty for the MOT and back... it would be a bit noisy and windy in a blade! but there again i have seen Polish and Czech registered bikes in Leeds

Re: Blade on ebay

Mine is UK registered, had been to Spain and back before I bought it and it still only had 1600mls on the clock. It was shipped there and back when the owner discovered it isn't as good on rough Spanish tracks as he thought it would be. My gain though....

Re: Blade on ebay

Very surprised it hasn't gone yet...it's been up for sale since at least the end of March ...... perhaps just too many 'silly' offers on it?

Personally if I had £8500 I'd be on the first plane out there!!!

Re: Blade on ebay

I guess blade owners never use them? 3k is very low though.

If you really want one...it's gotta be worth the trip....book a few days holiday to drive it back in the sun!!

Very unusual to see one much under about £10k in the UK now!....Give me the money I'll fetch it for you!

Re: Blade on ebay

Mine gets 'used' and has only done 5k miles.

I would wait until a good deal comes up on a UK car.

Lol, I actually asked if he were willing to put it back to standard and repair all the damage in the process, and he replied saying it was sold!
