Think the pink will make it a hard sell?

Yes I do. If it don't sell then maybe Goosey will want the body parts. She is a girl after all and she owns 2 just like it. She could have a "Pink Phase" LOL
The chrome is all rusted cause the previous owner lived a 1/2 mile from the beach so the salt air got to it.

you know....the pink scoot i got ripped off on from roketa/goldenvale (if you guys remember) ...well I admit i had it on CL before it even got here...because i was thinking it MIGHT be hard to sell...but was hoping some chicks out there would go nuts over it........well haha i got more inquiries on it than any other color/make/model ive had. Pink SELLS...because its rare i guess...i was floored at all the emails i got on it. I look at CL every day many times a day...and never see pink scoots. Chicks want em...especially the teens.
A cool pink retro scooter here in NC is a rare bird..maybe not so much in LA i dunno. Here in Raleigh though it would sell in a hot minute.

That's a great deal on the scooter, Fox! Everyone in my area seems to know what things are worth even if broken. LOL. No deals around here.

Hahahahah, I will never have a pink phase  I don't even own anything pink that I can think of. Maybe my hairless dogs sweater. However, my older daughter would kill for a pink Vespa,and she's be adorable on it, wearing a matching pink helmet  so yes there is a market out there, and if the buyer knows you can do repairs and maintenance, it is a bonus. |

Its going to be one off those things your going to sell it straight, away or have it for ages. My mate used to do up and sell cars years ago. He had a purple MG i never thought he would sell, vile colour. First week in the local paper sold it to a girl who had been looking for a purple car for ages

Good deal Fox  I had a friend trying to sell a pink scooter a few years back. Thing ran pretty well but had no power to speak of. About a true 25mph on the flats is all you could really expect out of it. I dont know if its because this is a college town or what but pink scooters will sell here too. I turned it down (PINK! and 4T) gracefully.. Ended up on C-list and was gone that same day for i believe $500.?. Every time ive listed a scoot on c-list its gone that same day. This year is REAL hot around here for scooters already! People and peoples people have been calling and asking for em. Anything, they just want a scooter. |

I cleaned the carb and put in a new starter relay and battery and it fired right up. After setting the idle and pumping up the tires I threw the seat on it and took it down the street a few times. Runs pretty good and all the electrical works. It's gonna take a full day to clean it up and it needs a new headlight. Speedo isn't working either. Prolly the cable. I'm hoping to sell it whole. I got $550 for a red one just like it with no papers a while back.
