Shopping for a (probably 150cc?) scooter in the $1200-1500 range?   Message List

Re: Shopping for a (probably 150cc?) scooter in the $1200-1500 range?

Be sure to shop around before you buy. There are plenty of places to
buy, but know where to get parts when needed. If you check ebay, you
can do some price comparisons without bidding, to see what a
particular model runs in price and look at different features
available. You can also go to the sellers official website to see what
else they sell, and if they service at their dealership.If you can
pick up local, you will save some money on shipping.

My teen-age son has a scooter, and I plan to buy one also.

Hi Ron Well I hope you haven't bought a scooter yet. From my experience and the experience that some of my close friends have had I would tell you to stay away...
