It's a clean ride, no doubt, but if the owner was willing to talk, I would have looked at it. $2500 would have been my limit with money coming off that if it was not running. Plus it sounds like the the title may be open? Or screwed up.

I always avoid talking prices with them before going to see the bike, but try my best to ask very specific questions so that they know I know what it is and I'm not just showing up clueless. Its 50/50 once you get there with cash in hand whether they will cave to your haggling when you are so willing to just walk away. There's always the sellers that will never budge.

On the 55, someone that knows these older ones will grab it, I'm sure. The other 2 above - the Rally 180 and the SS - are going to be demanding big bucks, much more than mortals like me could afford.

Can't seem to post a link for some reaseon, but there is a pretty straight 1962 Allstate on Facebook Market Place and/or Vintage Scooter Community Classifieds.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/VintageScooterCommunityClassifieds https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10226484523212784&set=g.305872879514516 $600.00 Looks like there is some cancer below the fuel tap and maybe on the floor boards. But a decent deal if you have welding skills. (Probably not good for a newbie.) Last edited by Birdsnest on Thu, 19 Jan 2023 18:04:17 +0000; edited 1 time |
