I think this may be my best find yet! I was going to put my usual screenshot of the CL ad, but the seller already deleted it. It was a short text-only ad with no pics. Something like this:
"For Sale 2 stroke E-Ton scooter. Doesn't run currently but did a few months ago when I put it away in the garage. Has always been professionally serviced. We just don't ride it anymore. I think there's something wrong with the carburetor. $250. Hoping to sell today"
The ad was only up for 1 hour when I called. When I got to the neighborhood it was a very nice upper-class gated community. I tried not to show my excitement when I realized this scoot is in amazing shape and has a Technigas (not sure which model- looks exactly like the one Jhobe just got) exhaust on it!
I asked if he'd take $200 but he said $250 was bottom dollar. I used the info from the shows like "Fast and loud" and "Counting Cars" etc. and said I'd meet him in the middle at $225 and he begrudgingly agreed lol. I knew those shows were educational!
I think it also might have been since it was 7pm and we were getting eaten alive by mosquitos!
The seller said the scoot would do 50mph with him on it with the "fancy exhaust" and he was 300lbs.+! I can't wait to get this lil ripper running!
Here it is:
Haha J/K J/K! (This was a friend of a friends scoot I met this weekend)
HERE it is:
The exit plan here is the same as usual: Get it running and sell it! lol I think I may just keep the exhaust for myself and put a stocker on it. Probably ask $600 on this one... The only problem: this is basically the exact build I've been wanting! A small frame, lightweight 90cc wheelie machine! I'm already attached d@mn!
