Agree. But at same time with private seller I can’t trust em with bike integrity. I get some confidence with dealer about bike I did buy some bike from private if they are local in past but stopped doing it lately. Too many scams and can’t trust on bike integrity. This is just me. 😉. But there are lots of expertise here may have different approach. 😉😁

Agree. With dealer it is easy to deal. I don’t feel comfortable dealing out of town private seller or buyer. Too many scams.

I paid in full thru wire transfer to dealer.

The deal was from dealer in Miami. It’s called BMW Motorcycle of Miami. Saw the ad for it. Did some negotiations thru email and phone. Salesman did the live video tour and also drove in his parking lot. He said no scratch and he spent close to 1.5 hr on video touring the bike. I fell in love. Closed the deal. Dealer mentioned about uShip.com. I took the risk of buying without test drive but the deal was so good, I couldn’t resist. I think my risk paid off well. 😉
