Having seen almost new ones with much lower mileages advertised for a few hundred pounds more it sounds a bit expensive tbh.
At 13,000 miles it will be needing a new belt if it hasn't had one already.
Theres a newer one in white with less mileage which has been on Biketrader for months, it would probably go for even less than £2500 ;)
No ABS is a major negative.

Thats a lot for a relatively simple scoot! eg Tmax belt around £100, and approx an hours labour to fit
