CL listing

Long time lurker. Im interested in a folding bike. Saw the listing on CL for a tern verge p9 on the SF Bay Area CL listings. I can’t post the link since I need 10 posts before I can Link anything.

I might be interested in buying it, but I wanna know what you guys think of the listing if it’s legit or not and what kind of questions should I ask the seller?




I’m not sure if that’s a normal price for a used bike sale on CL for that bike or if it’s too good to be true.




Any thoughts and advice is appreciated

It could be a recalled bike.

Thanks

Thanks, might be. Going to ask the seller for the year and frame # if it’s one of the recalled models.

Well, he's got the receipt so it's not stolen =). Check the age and condition, but honestly, I often see bikes underpriced in Cupertino on CL. Less competition for folders than in the City.
