Always Meet in Person
Never buy a bike without physically seeing it first. Arrange to meet the seller in a safe, public place — preferably during daytime hours.
Verify All Documents
Check the Registration Book (R-Book), ensure the engine and chassis numbers match, verify the seller's CNIC matches the ownership record, and confirm no outstanding dues or stolen vehicle report.
Take a Test Ride
Always test ride the bike before paying. Listen for unusual sounds, check brakes, lights, gears, and general mechanical condition.
Get a Mechanic's Opinion
For used bikes, bring a trusted mechanic to inspect the bike before purchase. The small cost of inspection can save you from expensive repairs later.
Never Pay in Advance
Do not pay any advance or deposit to "hold" a bike without seeing it in person first. This is a common scam tactic.
Verify Seller Identity
Ask the seller for their CNIC and verify it matches the ownership documents. Be cautious if the seller refuses to show identification.
Meet in a Safe Location
Arrange meetings in public places during daylight. Avoid inviting strangers to your home or meeting in isolated areas.
Verify Payment Before Transferring
Accept cash and count it before signing over documents. If accepting a bank transfer, wait for the funds to clear and confirm with your bank before handing over the bike.
Don't Share Personal Information Early
Be cautious about sharing your home address, CNIC details, or bank account number with buyers before a genuine transaction begins.
Keep Copies of All Documents
Before the sale, photocopy or photograph all documents. Create a written sale agreement signed by both parties.
