http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/4920820190.html


$250 and straight as SHIIT


why dont i have a GD truck??

Mac, if you had a truck and a big garage, you would turn into a big old scooter hoarder and never get a decent running scooter on the road. F--- that. Buy what you gonna ride and let some other poor scoot-less bastard have a stab at it. Just saying.... (Nutmeg - this is not directed at you- you are a rescuer, not a hoarder )

Why are there no deals like this ever popping up around Chicago?

Did we consume all the old shifty bikes back in the 90's or something?

'63 Puch Allstate Compact $650

These are cool looking bikes

shove it in a f&*^ing hatchback. i'd be on that shit like white on rice!

Maybe they'd let you put it in the bike rack on the front of the bus.

Much to late for that

For 250 that'd have been the shit, even if it just sat gathering dust waiting for a p200 lump.

Wish I coulda grabbed it

I was second in line for that Sprint/Cheetak. Damn.

There have been several cheap scoots being sold from that address. Are they legit?

Ha!.. so many deals out here.. not enough garage space.

What in the hell is going on out there? Why not just give it away.

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/4929423589.html

Damn, everything is on the left coast. I remember someone recently thinking the bike on the pallet in pieces was a good deal for a grand. This is my kind of deal

Holy shit... that's cheap!

best of luck with that

Atlanta Craigslist, P200 W/ 210 Kit. The motor alone is worth the $800 .



Vespa VBB w/ P200 motor - $800 (Cabbagetown

Way out of my league , but is this worth it? The floor looks to far gone. Maybe for parts or art. $200

I'm sure you could make yer money back and then some parting it out..

Well worth what he's asking I think, depending on what's in the boxes, what's missing and the actual condition of the floor from underneath. This pic gives me some hope that it's mostly surface rust and it looks fairly straight.

C'mon RG, I think you could do it, maybe get the engine done for you but you could handle the rest. And, hey you got a running(?) scoot already so there's no big hurry. If it's close enough, at least go look.

And take $200 with you .

Perfect scoot to learn on... body and engine. After that you'll know exactly what you want in a scoot.

buy it and part it out.

Theres easy a 1300+ in fabrication, welding, panel and paint and thats before you know the condition of the engine or have bought all the small bits

For a not very rare model, theres a lot of work in it.

Whats the deal with getting stuff licensed there?

Remember how much work yours was retro? This will easily take twice as long and cost a damn site more. but if your buying a super as your next scoot (it is a super aye??) then having a few spare parts around can be of use

Are we talking about paying someone to restore it? If so, I retract my previous comment.

yes i suppose unless retro can fabricate sheet metal, weld and paint.

That's the fun part.

Seriously though, that's a pile of junk if you're gonna pay someone to do it. If it's a project to learn on... that's a different story.

^^^ nailed it

Do it yourself, watch scootnet & here if you need usually expensive @ retail parts, learn as you go and take your time like you did with your P. Great bike to do this with IF there's no rot because good parts shouldn't be too hard to find.

A little more $$$ upfront, but this would be a good resto project. Rebuilt engine in 2011 and looks straight. If you could get it for $1500 and drop another $500 on body/paint, you'd probably still end up okay on it.

http://norfolk.craigslist.org/mcy/4926574918.html

that ones a fantastic project scoot. the other one has rot around the lower tube in the usual areas

I'm in agreement that it's a good candidate if you were doing a nut & bolt restoration. But for a 'project' it sounds like it's already done & ready to go, and a good deal if you want to ride rather than wrench. I'd keep it as a survivor, I think the paint already looks great. Maybe original, if not it's a fine job of looking like it.


I would want to ask just what this means:

I think he means floor rails. Like on the sides of old pickups. Maybe that is a States thing?

I thought the paint was a respray. That's why I figured it was a good scoot to customize. And it runs, which is huge.

Yes, the rusty scupper is probably for me, I can't staple to pieces of paper together, never mind weld. I was just curious. It's about 3 hours away. if it was a little closer I'd pay a hundred for it, just to save it from a junk yard, and maybe do something with it don the road. Pun intended.

Doesn't everyone get their panties in a wad when the rubbers are white??

So waiting on a response from the seller, but looks good from CL.

Rule of thumb I was taught was dirty engines were just pulled out running, and clean ones were pulled broken and investigated. Its 3 hours away but I think its worth the drive.

I think they call that hoarding.

Other people can fix that scoot... leave it to them. No point letting it rot in your garage.
