Searching for a lightly used 150, and came across this one. It has 'limited edition' badging, but I can't find an actual limited edition it resembles. Did someone just stick badges on here to make it their own custom edition

Any help with identification would be great! I'm going to check it out tomorrow, looks like a decent option from the listing. Thanks!

Highly suspicious. They look like random stickers that a previous owner has stuck on. In the middle of the cowling seems like a strange place for the manufacturer to apply them. Also, you have to ask the question, what is it about the scooter that makes it a 'Limited Edition'?

If they are owner applied stickers, one of the reasons people put them on is to hide scratch marks. Beware!

Nah, that's nothing "special edition." Just a standard Primavera. And yeah, sometimes stickers can hide damage. Not always, but it's worth being aware that it does happen.

Thank you for the replies. Your responses are along the lines of my early assumptions and id probably notice the bogus aftermarket stickers when inspecting personally.

I'll most likely stay away, if nothing else the previous owner had poor taste in modifications!

Yup, here they are:

Based on the placement I bet at least one of them is hiding a scratch, but maybe not.
