2007 Vespa 250cc - $2900 (Orange park / Jacksonville )

2007 Vespa 250 sport. Has 1100 miles. Looks and runs brand new. Recent oil change. Black with tan seat. Garage kept. Holds 2.5 gallons. Gets 87mpg. Tops out at 88mph. Automatic.

I realize there really isn't a lot to go off of. I doubt I'd get it regardless; Jacksonville is about a 2 hour drive from here.

Super clean and that's def cheaper than that scooter would go for up here. I like it.

It should be in the Kelly Blue Book, I'd check that.

Wouldn't hurt to try for it. Email the guy asking if he still has it and will hold it while you get over there. 'Cause it would sux to drive over there then learn he sold it an hour earlier.

Just checked our CL--there's a 2007 GTV 250, asking $4500.

And a "2007 genuine stella scooter mopad lml vespa" (dunno what exactly this means--is it a stella, or a vespa? What's lml? Are you quite sure you know what you're selling there, buddy?) that runs but needs tune-up, for $1700.

No mileage mentioned on either here. Your find is pretty dang low, even lower than mine!

Yeah, contact the guy and see what he says about holding it 'til you can get there. If you're pretty certain you'll buy it, assuming everything turns out good with the bike once you examine and/or testride it, then he should be okay with holding it.

He paid $8K for that new? And now he wants $3200?? The one thing about scooters I never understood is why they are so expensive.

Kelly's is where you go when you want to sell something. They are HIGH. Check edmunds. Don't pay for"sentimental value" ie new givi top case, windshield, tuneup, all that honkey.
