Jesus christ, I found a new pet peeve. Why the gently caress do these people that advertise on local Craigs/Kijiji place ads in cities ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE loving CONTINENT?

You see a car you kind of like, click on it and see that the location listed is local, but the ad says its 4000 miles away?

Yeah, sure, lots of people are going to buy your sub $2000 car from 3 time zones away.

Great little starter bike that a person could probably get for $700-ish (around $500 or so US). I'd be all over this if I knew someone just starting out.

It looks mint and has 14K KMs (under 9K miles).

1980 Yamaha SR250. Only 14,000 Kms. Excellent condition. Starts, runs, and drives like new. Electric start, shiny chrome, center stand, great paint, and lots of tread on tires. Needs nothing! Complete and everything works. Buy yourself something nice with all the money you will save on fuel! This bike is awesome! Asking $900 O.B.O. Will consider trading for items of similar value (Utility trailer, welding machine, plasma cutter, vehicles, other?) Let me know what you have. Will pay/take difference in cash. Bike is in Lethbridge. Contact through email, or call/text 403-892-4148. More pictures available. Thanks for looking.
