I'd think you could flip that fairly easy. Plus it's got an Arreche carb with it that could be sold.

Well it's a long drive to Tustin from here so I don't want to waste $30 in gas and end up with a hopeless basket case. On the other hand I suppose learning how to work on and source parts for a TGB wouldn't hurt my resume. I can't get down there til Thursday so I hope it doesn't get snapped up by someone else. I just emailed the guy asking if the ad was supposed to read $1500 or $150. They sell new for around $2000. Lots of people like to type a BS low number to get your attention.

I feel your hesitation. Just the way it is worded feels a little off. Kind of a too good to be true deal. On the other hand these kinds of deals do happen. Soooo, basically i'm no help at all. Would be cool to see you score with it tho.

Be careful. A nicely appointed lil scoot like that would be very tempting to keep and play with. That could be one hot (as in hot like LeBron James' triple double against the Lakers a couple of days ago ;D) little smoker with a bit of work. Sorry, I just couldn't resist th' dig. :twisted:

Yeah I think there's more to the story. He said $150 is the correct price so it's gotta have something seriously wrong with it for him to let it go so cheap. Prolly crank bearings. There's a big oil spot under it so maybe it has a cracked block? The Lakers are looking like shit the last couple of games but they'll turn it around. Artest needs to get off his ass and play defense like he did early in the season, Kobe needs to shoot better if he's gonna take 20-30 shots per game and they need to pass the ball more and with more zip. They look lazy like they aren't really hungry. Miami made them look like a pee-wee team.

It's got half decent exhaust and the body seems in good nick. I'm sure you wouldn't loose out on it.

Arent those Morini powered? Its worth 150 either way IMO Agreed. $300 (crank, bearings, etc.) and you'd have a $800 scooter for a $450 investment. The carb and pipe are worth the $150. That means the scooter would be free.

Yeah, even if you just eBayed the exhaust and carb, you'd be breaking even on it. I say go for it if you have the extra cash and time.

Thanks for the replies! If it's still there on Thursday I'll grab it! I'll break even at the least but it might turn out to be a mini goldmine.

Yes, i think you will be fine....As long as you dont mind a lil wrenching and selling parts. Or just fix it and have a good lil scoot.?. I like that idea.
