Actually, I've sorted through about 10 or 15 of those adds on Cycletrader. Don't get me wrong, CT is very reliable, but the scammersall use the $4500-4700 price point on 05-newer bikes. They are always out of country, or on business leave. Phone numbers never work, but they are more than happy to talk through emails. Two things; If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is; and NEVER offer money for a bike sight-unseen.

These scams are all over the internet. Hard to believe one slipped thru into AutoTrader though.
