Checked out the Scooters / Mopeds section on Gumtree Stuff For Sales and there is a sponsored link advertising Scooters from £599.

Website seems professional - but can't seem to figure out whether this is too good to be true or not?!?!

Has anyone bought from this outfit? Are they legitimate?

Too good to be true usually equates with scam

Follow the steps to look up the website and business behind it with the links on the following guide which gives you pointers on how to look up who owns a website and the business, etc. When you've done the detective work, come back and tell us if you think its dodgy and why - what isn't ringing true and so on.

Sorry, misread your original post and replied in haste. Just ignore my last post.

I can't comment on the legitimacy of the business - you can get brand new scooters etc for £599 easily enough...but they are generally very poor quality and spares are a bitch to get hold of when the bike breaks down (usually around 2-3000miles) I'd save up a bit more cash and buy something from a more reputable manufacturer.

I guess it boils down to the old saying, you get what you pay for. My scooter cost me £2500 and has never let me down.
