Congrats, Lori! Hope it's not too much of a hassle to pick it up several hours away. Folks here have lots of advice for trailering it back. At least it's in state (Florida) so you don't have as much hassle with titling and registration.

Just ignore any requests to buy pieces off it! I hope that person was joking. You got a nice total package for a decent price. Not a steal but a fair price, maybe a little better than what a dealer - I mean dealer - would have charged you!

It was my pleasure to guide you on what I would have paid for it. It's nice that you got the exact scooter in the exact color you wanted. Might I suggest matching floor mats as your first accessory? http://www.scooterwest.com/etpaccessories.html Although in the photo they look orange, not tan! Also see the MV discussion thread about the pros and cons of floor mats.

Many wishes for years of happy scootering. My best advice: Don't let inexperienced friends ride your ET.

Lisa

PS: When you get your new-to-you ET4, please share some photos -- not just of the ET4 (we know what it looks like) but of you so we can see your scooter smiles!

Lori, what a beautiful ride-- gorgeous color combo! Looks like Lisa did a wonderful job as your guide. 8)

The Piaggio top case is nice too.

The tan floormat's attractive, but (as the thread Lisa cited suggests) some have found that they trap grit and scratch the paint underneath.

Many safe & happy scootin' miles to you!

I love the cream paint - brown seat combination. Gives that extra something.
Congratulations!
