Where to find a motorized scooter?

Does anyone know where I can buy a motorized scooter (like a Vespa, but not Vespa) in Orange County, California for less than $1000. These gas prices are killing me!

Good luck. Too many people share the same problem and so the price of scooters are shooting through the roof and the availability is getting tougher.

Less that $1000? good luck! maybe used on Craigslist.





But remember, when you do buy one, DO NOT BUY from an online store or Chinese.





Go see NOHO scooters, they might be able to Finance you, plus they are old school scooterists and know a lot of info.

sorry, you might have to go out of Orange county.
Reply:You will have to expect a used scooter for that price, but you can find one with very low mileage. Go to 'Craigslist' check to box to retrieve only ads with pictures, and set the maximum price you are willing to pay as the right hand figure, and set some lower number on the left. You want to filter out the cheap-stuff like helmets or jacket so set it to 500. Then search for scooters, like People or Twist'n'Go (those are both brand names) or you can enter Honda, Yamaha or Suzuki. look through the ads you retrieve, and see if any look like a good deal. Arrange on the phone or by email to go and see one that interests you.


Be sure you are set to look at Craigslist for the area you live in, so you don't have to drive too far. LOOK DILIGENTLY, and with an open mind. You will find a bunch of toads before you find the prince!





Avoid no name Chinese scooters, like the PLAGUE. If they do not give the barnd ou can consider it a toad and not go see it. A good brand, people want to shout the name from the roof top.
Reply:It is a good idea to ride scooter due to the gas prices now. I see more people are riding scooter now on the road. For less $1,000, you can check Craiglist. You should buy a scooter from 150cc and up, 50cc is too small and very hard to keep up with traffic for safety. Good luck.
