Yeah, I figured as much. Too many flags on the post. Minimal information, and what appears to be stolen photos.

And here in Southern California

https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcy/d/temecula-1981-vespa-p200e-with-malossi/6930978756.html

This might be the original listing. At least it includes a phone number, and is close enough to Massimo in Costa Mesa.

Any Socal locals know this scoot?

I wasn't aware that Costa Mesa was a suburb of Baltimore!
Agree it's obviously a scam. They probably took someone's legit ad and corrupted it. But (location error aside) that ad there has an easy way to check if it's legit. Ask the seller his name and then call the dealership mentioned and ask if they've serviced said bike for said owner.

Shortly after I sold my BMW R1200CLC (for $6K) to a buyer in Michigan, my buyer sent me a link to a couple ads on the internet. They were my complete ad, pictures included, and the contact info and price were changed. The price was halved to $3K. He jokingly remarked he should have waited a couple weeks to buy my bike, he could have gotten a better price.

You might as well close up this thread, and lock it down...this morning i sent a paypal deposite to each of those sellers. I can't wait for all four of those scoots to be delivered to me by the end of this month. I'm stoked to be a future owner of quadruplets! My plan is to only get one of them registered, and swap the license plate around between the four of them.
