    Questions from other buyers for this listing
    Q: Is this an 03 or 04 P3? How many miles do you think you have on it?
    Also, has it ever been in a wreck? Any other info you can give would be
    greatly appreciated! Answered on Mar-20-05
    A: Attention!!!!!!!!! THis is not my Bike and I have no idea how it
    was listed under my account and name. PLEASE Don't bid!!! I have contacted

    This person's e-bay account was hijacked. If you buy/sell on e-bay,
    you must be very careful when answering e-mails that *appear* to come
    from e-bay. The e-mail will usually say there is some problem with
    your account, then ask you to click on a link to some pseudo e-bay
    page.
    Be very careful, change your passwords once a month.

    That's pretty funny. They should have just gone for the full carbon P3.

    The best way to prevent this is to never click on the links provided in the
    email. Always open up your browser separately, and go to the site "manually."
