Wonder how much they're asking for it?

Is this MP3 yours, or just one you found on craigslist?

If it was closer to this side of the states, I'd give 'em a ring, but it's a bit far off from NC.

There's one on Craigslist here in Vancouver for $7999.

I was talking to the guys at Vespa Vancouver about it and he says the person who bought it, dumped it and is now scared to ride it.

Just one I found on craigslist.
Simply surprised that somebody is already selling an MP3.

I'm not... if anything, the MP3 is the ultimate "wow, wouldn't it be cool to have one of these" kinda things.

Still, it blows me away that someone could have so much money they would drop seven grand on a whim...

I think that some folks are misled by the dealerships into thinking that the MP3 is a true trike. They buy the scoots without test riding them or having previous riding experience, and then promply fall off of them the first time the front end lock releases. I know that's been the case in at lest two instances that I'm aware of.

As to the cost of the MP3. Let's face it, a 50cc scoot or moped will fill most of your needs in the rural atmosphere, as will a KIA or Hugo car, but people still buy Harley Davidsons, BMWs, Ducatis, Burgmans, Silverwings, Corvettes, Mercedes, BMW's, Suburbans, Hummers, etc. They'll all get you from point A to point B, but if the person has the resources, why not opt for the more deluxe ride!

The 150cc Vespa cost more then a Kymco or Genuine scooter, but some of us opt for the Vespa; but they all do the same job. I love my MP3; I had the funds to buy it, and I did! If everyone had the same needs and wants there would only be one brand and one model.

Viva la difference!

Come to Las Vegas, I see a dozen 100,000 plus USD whims every morning driving from Henderson to The Strip.
