Modern Vespa

***Mods, please delete if my cross-pollinating is against the rules***

I'm selling my newly resurrected 500. Mosey on over the FS forum if you're interested: [topic53953]

I still plan on popping in on the forum every now and then, if you'll still have me, so please, no bad mouthing me!

Thanks for looking.

Oldspice,

You looking at the Mana?

Yes, the Mana is the "other woman". I may go for a trade in, but want to see if a sale is possible.

Do your best to sell it, you will get more money, and will have more of a chance to "Really" get something off the Mana. Trade Ins give the dealer a chance to be creative and make the paperwork look better than it "Really" is.

Agreed. I already secured a price from them before I even mentioned trade-in, so we'll see how creative they really get. Also, before the accident and about 4500 miles ago, I got an idea from the same dealer on what the trade-in would be - at that time, around $6600. Of course, their creativity kicked in by not moving a dime away from the list price of the Mana. So, although the trade it looked decent, the price of the bike sucked. I'm expecting more of the same, but we'll see.

4000 miles on my 500 and now I'm starting to wane a bit. For some reason it's just not exciting me as much anymore. I'd love a Bonnie T100, but the mana has some great features with great acceleration and high end power. A big part of me want something simple and classic that I can wrench on, but having sport and rain modes would be mighty nice.

My HID lights get here on Wednesday, I'll see if that excites me anymore.

I'm not sure if this is the place for it, but I'd love to hear updates and reports on the Mana as well.

I am considering the Mana also, but I expect to keep the MP3 , just can't walk away from this little jem.

Wonder on over here and you can find loads of information on the Mana and you may even see a few familiar screen names as well. I too am planning on getting a Mana but the MP3-500 will be staying as well.
