"Pardom me sir, would you have any Grey Poupon?"
Hi all! I was supposed to get this build thread up a few days ago but got a lil' busy. Better late than never!
Ok, this was supposed to be a grand slam home run buy that a fellow member- Florida Antique- pointed out to me, but alas- I guess if the old adage held true; If it seems to good to be true it probably is!
The seller was selling this supposedly titled 2002 2t Malaguti Yesterday for $200! Said it needed a cylinder rebuild...
This scoot wasn't on my radar as it's a little out of my "farming area"- a 2+ hour drive up to Gainsville. After multiple calls to the seller and asking and being reassured multiple times that this scoot had a title, I made the drive up to Gainsville. Well, to make a long story short- there was no title. Oh ya, you can bet I was a bit peeved. This was a college aged kid selling the scoot for a roommate who was out of town. The scoot came with a folder stuffed full of paperwork. Like, every single paper imaginable from the original sale (It was bought by a dealership and put up as a prize for a raffle, which the PO won, and the dealership transferred ownership into his name.) Every single paper imaginable- except the title!!
Like I said, this was supposed to be a grand slam home run. A $200 scoot that needed a little engine work that could be easily re-sold for 1k or more... *sigh* I'll try to make a few phone calls and secure the title- I'm even considering using the motorecyclenow.com service. Like I told the kid that night when I bought it "I have little faith that I'll ever get that title after I leave here tonight." In the end I offered him $150 bux, he accepted, and I loaded the scoot up!
Now for some pics of this sexy, smoke breathing, classy, high end, Italian made Malaguti!
