Just recently found out i have a hole in the bottom end of my engine, dont feel like spending a 400 dollars for a new casing so i was wondering what i should do with my scooter? Everything else is perfect with around 900km on them.

exactly what part?? Can you take a picture of it? If your engine is not blown and everything is fine you can just replace the part of the crankcase that is damaged.

even if u have a blown engine
it all depends on what u wanna do.
mainepeace has crate engines cheaper than any where else that i have seen. probaly cheaper than the $400 ur talking about
so u need to decide.
put in a new engine or sell it and buy another.
me i'd put in a new engine

How about more information re your hole. If the hole is not structurural ( meaning if it does not waken the structure and I doubt it does cause it sounds like it runs OK) then a little careful cleaning and some JB weld and away you go. So let us get some more specific info..

i second that Emotion
never heard a dealer badmouth another dealer on here
but then again
the dealers that are here alot
are gentlemen
sheeeeeeett ive heard a few of em recommend other dealers
and ive also heard 'em give such good advice
they probably talked them selves out of a sale
i.e. carb cleaning instead of replacing
so post a pic of this hole and see what they can do for ya

Yep, that is a phenomenal price. He's probably buying them by the crateload directly from China.
HOWEVER, once you get it you probably have no support. I'd be wary even about warranty support. I have found that MANY people who sell cheap parts on eBay do so only because they can, and they tend to sell anything that they can get their hands on, regardless of their own knowledge of the item.
Sure, it may cost more from a dealer like me or Scooterelements, but you can be damn sure we're there to help you out if and when a problem occurs.

its obvious one will get better support from site vendors judging from the track record here. a noob would be well advised to stick with these guys. however ebay seller do offers some degree of help due to that feedback system. otherwide they dont last long. so ebay would be a better deal for experienced customers.
ive been following those guys since long before owning a scoot and noticed they come in two different packages: stripped down basic engine for $280 and full blown with all the extras like carb, cdi, coil, etc for around $320.
btw they all come from the same place and this is where most sellers get them. if i bought a few one chinese dealer offered to drop price well below $200 shipped.
