Modern Vespa

So I posted a couple days about a used GT200 that was for sale from a dealer

I was helping a friend with a potential purchase.
"good deal?... Yay or nay?"

I actually saw it today and just tried to get an estimate on the repairs. The speedometer needle is not working and the heat light was on. I was told the heat didn't effect the actual GT... just the light indicator was on.

Does anyone know if the dashboard needs to be replaced or is it just a wiring issue? Lose cables etc.

The easiest thing it could be is a defective temp sending unit. If you unplug it and the light goes out then that's it. Another thing it could be is a shorted wire.

The spedo issue is likely a broken inner cable. Does the odometer work?

i'm not 100% sure about the odometer.

what if it was or wasn't working?

If the odometer works then that means the cable is OK and the spedo is not working. In that case the spedo/dash will probably have to be replaced which could concievably also fix the temp light, but I think that's unlikely.
