Until December of last year, I was a satisfied owner of a 2023 Vespa GTS300 Supersport in white. It was equipped with an original Vespa Topcase and Flyscreen. While sitting at a red light, a driver behind me mistakenly believed the light had turned green and rear-ended me. The impact directly struck the rear of the Vespa, pushing fender into rear tire causing damage to rear body both sides and tail lights.
My Vespa dealer determined that the frame was bent, resulting in a total loss of the vehicle. Fortunately, I had uninsured motorist coverage, and I received a settlement. Despite the loss, I decided to retain the Vespa due to the minimal difference in the settlement amount between releasing the vehicle and keeping it.
I was able to pull the rear end away from the tire and had to cut away a portion of what I believe is the cowling. Apart from the rear damage, the Vespa operates flawlessly, having only accumulated 1,786 miles since the accident. No other damage has been observed on any other component of the vehicle. I had maintained it in a garage and kept it in excellent condition.
The attached photos are before I cut away the damaged section and how it looks now.
My intention is not to seek a substantial profit. I simply seek your guidance on determining a fair asking price.
Thanks for any suggestions you offer.
Keith (driver of car for now - yeah the rear ending at red light shook me.)
