Dirt Cheap has TaoTao 50 for 499.00 in the box, 50.00 more to have it put together.. they wont let u start it or test drive one.. as is. I bought mine there and love it.
Speed City Scooters located literally right next to the Indianapolis 500 track is overpriced, rude associates, was lied to, awesome collection of high end scooters (kymco, vespa, etc) but beware of their tricks!

Speed City has a well deserved reputation in the state, and its not a good one. If anyone wants to be treated right check out Vespa Shelbyville. Burke is a good guy and loves what he does.

dirt cheap, located in elrod indiana. big warehouse, great stock of parts, sells ATVs, dirtbikes, 50 and 150cc scooters. possibly the cheapest prices on scooters for many many miles around. crated 150cc go for around 800 bucks. he does a brisk business too. next time i'm there i'll try to get an estimate on how many scooters he sells a month.
one major drawback, absolutely no returns, exchanges or refunds.
went there to purchase a muffler for my 250. they had a brand new helix type muffler for 50 bucks. i wanted it but the owner tried like **** to talk me into buying a used one for a lower price. after a useless attempt he looked at me and said "fine, don't bring it back because it won't fit". i am now sitting here with a brand new helix type muffler that doesn't fit. the one he tried to sell me would have.
the owner seems to be a good person but he WILL NOT accept any returns, refund any money, or exchange parts you have purchased there.
over the last couple of years he has been upping his prices. if they get close to other dealers that are a little bit more customer friendly then i'll start doing business with them instead.

I remember from my Scooter dealer Google frenzy that I saw Speed City Scooters on the top of the list. They have a nice website, but if they are anything close to what you guys have said, I'm glad I will be avoiding that place for any major purchases (I was thinking about maybe buying a cup holder, windshield, and scooter cover from them).
Do any of these guys have good repair service? I.E. free/cheap estimates, wide array of parts, cheap and reliable repair.
Thank you guys for your experiences! <(^_^)>

READ THIS: DO NOT, I MEAN DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM RXREXTREMERIDES IN GOSHEN INDIANA, sold me a roketa mc 02 50b for $500 with 3k miles, (i was okay with that) BUT THE DANG THING JUST QUIT ON ME A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. please, save yourself some time and money. do not buy from rxrextremerides, i even contacted them and they said they will NOT fix it and will NOT refund my money. they wouldn't even give me a good trade in on it. shamefull barn-ran business is what it is.

Indy is becommig the new Dallas, now that TaoTao located a warehouse in Indy. Freight is becomming a huge factor, so if you can pick up at a local warehouse, and willing to work on a couple of bucks... dem prices are "Insane"!!!!

are there any decent dealers in or around ft wayne with a good selection? Heeter's Performance Center in North Manchester. It's a family business. Wonderful people to deal with. They deliver if you can't pick up the bike or don't want to have it shipped. Scooters start at $1,200. Heeter's does NOT sell junk. There's Urban Assault Motorsports in Fort Wayne. Can't comment on their service.
