ARGO Scooter

[rootbrewskies]

My local store is selling ARGO AR150-18 150cc scooter from 1999.99 new. I'm not very familar with ARGO scoots. Anyone know if they are good? The shop provides a 2 year warranty including in shop labor. I understand this is the same company or at least in someway affiliated with the old baja india brand.

just looking for a little help.

I know it's a long link but it's a good read. Look at scooterbbs.com and do a search on Argo.

Good luck!

the only thing conected to bajaj is this is the same distributor as bajaj usa, nothing else. completly different manufacturer with no connection at all

$2k for a no name scooter would not seem like much of a deal to me at least. There are known brands for sale for 1/2 that.

So you're saying you can get a 'known' brand scooter for 1K? What brand would those be?

It seems the best reviewed Chinese scooters on this board are Lance and they run about 1500+ for a 150cc...and likely to increase given their new policy on not drop shipping.

Basically I'm inquiring whether the addition few bucks is worth having a local shop that will service the scooter for 2 years. I understand some people like working on their scooter but i'd prefer to ride it and not have to worry about working on it when i get home.

basically, the question is then....how much is a 2 year parts and labor warranty worth on a scooter?

I personally liked it in the showroom. Its a decent scooter, good support, and 2K for a genuine yamaha engine sounds like a no brainer to me.


My Milan was 1650, so for a few hundred more you get a brick and mortar dealer who will cover your warranty for 2 years and you get a Yamaha engine.
