Vespa 250 GTSie - $3000
2006 Red Vespa 250 GTSie with windshield, rear trunk and foot mat. Never dropped or wrecked, all service up to date and low miles at 6 K. Scooter is gently used never as a commute or daily rider.
Local pickup only. $3000 or best price. If its as nice as she claims in our telephone conversations I am buying it. Its long been one of my dream machines. Not really a fan or 'come get me red' but at that price I cant pass it up. If the exhaust recall has not been done I can talk her down a tad on that however she claims its been regularly serviced at Vespa Raleigh since new, has had a new back tire put on it so they should have done the exhaust recall at that time. She claims to be a freelance writer and bought the bike a few years ago in more flush times as a pleasure driver only. Is in a financial bind now and needs to sell. I cannot really find any serious issues other than the exhaust recall: modernvespa.com/forum/wiki-gts-250NADA states $3900 average retail on this year and model. I see LX 150s for $2700-$3200 or more around here. It was the first yr for FI but I cant find any problems online. |

Its a free recall true, but its also a hassle.... Cant blame a fella for wanting to bargain can ya?  She did say 'or best price' which indicates to me a $2800 offer would not be unreasonable. I found 2 others one in CA another in FL for about the same....with no bug shield or topcase however. |

I cant get this shit off my mind, im flabbergasted really. I thought the guy whos tank touring 150 with no tags that was here for the keylock set was crazy but this chick takes the cake. A medium frame scoot with no tags is a dead giveaway..its going to be bigger than 50cc thats a given and cops dont know much about scoots but any cop is going to recognize this. A scooter this big aint no 50.
Not only that but take a chance with no insurance? on this bike? what planet do these people come from? I had cash money I was going to have the title notorized and bring it on home right then! ugh.

She cannot find the title so she says. She said she wants a $2500 cash loan...and in return for that the loaner gets the scooter....but there is a catch....she keeps the title. And zero interest. What a flake.

That's a good one. Loan? Interest? WTF
I was only loaning it to him Judge Judy, like, he was renting it, and I want it back now, see I still have the title here...that is, if it's not stolen.
Sorry for the missed opportunity, but stay far away from that one.

You didnt mention, or I missed it . . . Craigslist  ? This sounds like petty Craigslist scammery(?). I do all my affairs from Craigslist and I still find amazement in of some of the trades and scams people come up with. *c0o C0o* But, they are gorgeous bikes and I think the people that shell out 4-5k for a scooter usually take pretty good care of them. :cheers: |
