Need a local to help me buy a motorbike!

AlexGirroir

Hey, I want to buy a motorbike in HCM but I don't want to get ripped off because I'm a foreigner.
I've done my research and now pretty much what bikes should cost what, but I want a local to help me communicate and negotiate, as well as take it to a third party mechanic to get checked.
I'm happy to give some money or buy lunch to whoever can help me out.
I'm hoping to buy a bike ASAP.
I know the kind of bike I want and a few dealers so it shouldn't take much time at all.
Thanks in advance!

:) Hi,

I know somehow about the bikes so I can help you. It is not a big deal for me cos I have done it many times. I don't need any payment either.
