So there is a guy willing to deliver this for me and i have been going back and forth with different sellers and battling for days trying to get a scooter (some of you have already been following my posts haha) I will explain the story later on this process when i start the build but spaz12 and I have been talking and thank you man for all your time and advice/opinion throughout this.. Here is the bike im talking about right now. It says a Throttle Mod and spaz12 and i were talking and he mentioned it would probably be an 08. Guy doesnt have title, bought it off craigslist a year ago charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/5112764845.htmlCan i get vin and we tell if its a 08 or 05? Dude is willing to deliver it for 800. Its a hour and 20 min away. Told him I have a 2014 50cc Taotao I would trade with cash if he would deliver cheaper, waiting for a response. There bike is 30 minutes away 700 (wont budge on price) still has it = charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/5172681382.htmlAnd this one- greensboro.craigslist.org/mcy/5192932565.htmlIve heard it run and seen it bury the speedometer. He said 800, its gonna cost me 80 to get it here. (I want this one alot, simply cause of year and upgrades already and him and I have been talking for days lol I just cant afford to spend almost 900 today

On the left hand side of 08's you will see another air box next to the normal air box. It's for emissions. A lot of people remove them, but if it's still there, then it'll tell you right away that it's an 08 or newer. I have picture but I'll have to post it later because I have to run to the post office.

So after having him send me a pic, i was able to confirm with spaz12 that it is in fact a 08 and he thinks its a 05. Im awaiting a response from him on the price for him to deliver it with my TaoTao+cash. will let you guys know how it goes. If its decent price ill do it cause i like this one based on the body, its it the best shape of all the ones ive negotiated about. The 2010 im most likely going to get has been spray painted on a couple plastic covers and its missing a mirror. However as stated before it does have performance exhaust and carb with roller upgrade and is just waiting for the malossi kit to be installed.

Thanks PirateLabs it feels like a freaking marathon i have ran to get to this point and spaz12 has helped a great deal. I would probably not be in this boat right now and happy as I am without his help and the others here such as moofus02, 90GTVert, Corrosion, iwiketuddlz, katastroff are just a couple i remember off top of my head and if i forgot you, thanks to you as well. You guys are awesome and I cant wait to get started with this. Feel like a kid at christmas time haha. .Its in stone now that I am going to get the Zuma greensboro.craigslist.org/mcy/5192932565.html ( he bought a back tire today and is including it)

I decided to hold off on that other cause I just can't spend 900 today cause I think rents more important
