What are the Genuine Stella scooters even worth?
They are the 2003, and 2005 with 200 and 800 miles. Paint faded. Need new seats. Both run.
as is, probably about 700ish to 1000ish if they were tagged up maybe something like 1500 range. pretty up the paint, drop new seats on and a comprehensive tune up with a fresh battery, drop some tires on and maybe you can squeak 2K out on each of them. more likely you'd probably see something like 17-18
the problem you're looking at is that you've got two bikes that are 15 yrs old, weren't that desirable when sold new and have been sitting. even though they're low miles, there's sure to be problems to crop up from non-use.
i'd take a flyer on one at $500 because that's about what it's worth in parts. but think about it this way: you drop 5-ish on one, then you gotta do seals, clutch corks, a big ass tune up, throw a seat and a battery at it, probably clean the tank, definitely throw a fuel line and oil line at it, maybe even a tap and what not, rando rubber bits and bobs and then tires and tubes and then for sure flush and bleed the brakes.
now i can do all that myself and i know what those parts cost. if somebody bought that and took it to a shop they'd be out damn near a grand, easy money.
so, unfortunately you're kind of in this nebulous state of having somewhat clean but low mileage bikes that will most likely need a healthy cash infusion in the immediate future, added to that is they're not particularly sought after and thus you have a low price point.
