Isn't the price a little high?
The listing does not mention the mileage and the photos don't help judge the condition.

The 2014 Piaggio Fly 150 3v retails for $2900, is seven years newer with a warranty and only costs $900 more.

I'm wondering if $2000 is a fair price.

Good point. I know next to nothing about modern Vespas so I don't really know what is a good deal

Yeah ... I'd rather see these details in an ad rather than "ready for summer" or "anyone can ride this scoot."

Thanks for your help. I did not notice the custom paint, and the fact that the owner doesn't mention the mileage is a bit strange.

Since you are in the same town it might be a good idea to go take a look at it.

I love it when things are ridiculously overpriced. I once saw a book on amazon where the used one was listed for more than the regular new copy. It wasn't signed, they were both hardback and the same edition....$50 for the book, or $65 for a used copy? So silly!

But remember, if it has the vespa tag next to the piaggio one you can double the price. So, think of it as $1,000...even though $2,000 would disappear from your account.

Ok, I've been told that the scooter has 5700 miles, was dropped resulting in cosmetic damage, owner painted two tone because he thought the solid blue was boring. Priced too high? What's a good price for a Vespa like this one?

I was thinking $1800, I might go to check it out just for shits and giggles, I'm just not too keen on wasting the seller's time.
Thanks!
