Recently purchased a Bashan 'VIP' 50cc from Pacific Wholesale Scooters in Las Vegas, NV. Did my homework before scooter shopping and then went and visited some dealers here in Sin City.
The guys at Pacific were excellent - no pressure, no gimmicks and very informative. Straight-shooters all the way. Price was reasonable for a 'VIP', including accessories like trunk and helmet.
The mechanic gave me the run-down on maintenance, usage, break-in, etc before I rode away. He had no idea I was a mechanic in the Navy when he spoke to me and I can tell you he didn't bullsh!t me or sell me on any b.s. at all.
My roommate and I went shopping to a few dealers in the Vegas area that day and Pacific was by far the best. For comparison, stop by 'Scooter Mania' in Vegas and witness the difference - if scootermania hasn't fold his tent yet lol! Scootermania's website is more 'slick' than Pacific's (after leaving the Navy I went into I.T. - 14 yrs now) but Pacific is the real deal, in-person. It's worth at least stopping by both shops (they are about 1.5 miles from one another) just to see the difference.
I'm still on break-in but I've given the scoot some inspections (and it's my ride) myself and I'm very happy so far, especially considering the money spent.
Anyway, just want to give a shout-out concerning the excellent value.

Addendum - I wouldn't ride a scooter from scootermania from point of purchase, I'd fear for my life. I was confident riding away from Pacific however. Not something I would take lightly.
