guy said it has title - so for 300 and few replacement parts, think is a great deal (so long as I can get running of course) - im in casselberry and will def let you know if any help is needed, i appreciate the offer - So if I pick it up, going to give it a good once over, check the electronics and then order whatever parts i think I may need - will see if I pick it up first.

I asked - he said stop running one day and never attempted to fix - so could be something really simple and I got me a heck of a deal - or the latter and stuck with a POS - but even if had to rebuild the whole engine - still prob cheaper than buying new

If you do end up getting it, check the valve clearance first. Often, scoot owners will just drive and drive until the valve adjustment gets real tight and it won't start anymore- then they call it "junk" and sell it lol.

Niz is right. I got my first scooter (a 125cc)because it had a bad petcock and tight valves. A quick adjustment and a $15 petcock and it ran like new again. If it turns over and has all the parts and a transferable title, even worst case (holed piston, etc.), you could be on the road for less than $600.

So i picked up the 2013 peace sport 150cc - this thing is mint condition - got it home, charged the battery and started right up. Its bogs down and doesnt go over about 10mph, I just went to end of block and back - I havent done anything to it yet (just got late last night) - SO im going to break it down, check the valves and go over it - will keep posted. Still cant believe the deal though, I am def one happy camper.
