Months ago I went to a Vespa dealer telling them I saw what I wantd (a picture of the 2018 Sprint S 150) and they said they'd probably get 1-2 of them and that I was the first to put a deposit down on one. Months later with no callback I decided to call They told me they can't find a single person who is selling the one I wanted and doubted they'll get one. Does anyone know if anywhere will be getting one? Did I mess up this deal somehow?

Is this Vespas fault or my dealer who I went to? I had been waiting years to finally go in on Vespa and now I feel like maybe I messed up and did something wrong. Any tips are appreciated.

Thank you

The dealer I went to said he can't find one for me, but was happy to take a $500 deposit from me. I haven't seen a single person with one though. Does anyone here have one? I'd love to see pictures of them!

Also, Should I ask for my deposit back since he "can't find that model for me" ?

They are on back-order currently. Our shop has 4 2018s in stock today, we don't wait to order until the stock is gone. You can see them at our website. Hopefully you are local to us.

What about the Sprint 150 S? Have you gotten any of them in? Has anyone?

I apologize for posting again but wasn't sure if it was worth an edit. Are the colors on the Vespa website misleading/wrong (or do i just not understand?) because I just found another dealer showing a yellow 300 GTS https://www.vespaso.com/default.asp?page=xNewInventoryDetail&id=3688252&p=2&make=vespa&vc=scooter&s=Year&d=D&t=new&vt=motorcycle%20%2F%20scooter&fr=xNewInventory

I thought the only yellow this year was the Sprint S 150? Am I mistaken?

(Second from left.) But their stock is moving awfully fast...

If Sherman Oaks has them in stock then maybe your dealer can work something out with them. Explain to them you really want to support your local dealer but if they can't help you a refund is in order. You don't want to alienate them if they are going to be your service location.
