Talk me out of this!

Am I making a bad move? I just sold my non running needed lots of work Aero50 for $150, and I can get this for $300

You'd be out of your mind to pay anything at all for a Chinese scooter. Tell you what. Send me $300 and I'll take a dump in a ziploc bag and mail it back to you. Deal?

Is it that bad? Really?

[CharlotteSpreeRider]

Dude. It's a Chinese scooter. 'Nuff said.

He's knocked it down to $200, and it comes with a hard case that hooks to the back rack for storage....

[CharlotteSpreeRider]

I'll match his $200 offer and throw in the contents of the cat box. Plus, free shipping.

Being that you only paid $75 for the Aero, with $225 invested in it (to reach the same $300 that they want for that Chinese pos) you could have had a great scooter. '83-'84 Aeros are not easy to find parts for (I know, I own one) but they can be found between the Honda dealer, ebay, etc. You can't find ANYTHING for those Chinese bikes. Most of the new ones around my area are sold by private individuals who bought them by the container load. Look at the pictures on Craigslist - they're all taken in front of self storage buildings.

You have two things going against you right now - you're in a hurry and you don't want to spend much. Deals can be had, but you have to be patient. And Aeros can be restored, but again you have to be patient. You're not going to bring one back from the dead in a week's time.

I'd pay $300 for that mini bobber that's in the background.

Looks like a Zip clone, may be decent.

Vento is chinese and has proven itself pretty well.

[CharlotteSpreeRider]

It's a Geely.

[Gadelbert1]

Which is a better deal the '03 Geely for $200, or this 1981 Express for $300?

Holy crap, it's a 2 speed? I'd snap that up.

Honda Express....especially since it has exactly the same mileage as my spree when I bought it (1888)


My spree now has almost 2200....only had it a month too hahaha

Yeah, I love the Express scooters.

[Gadelbert1]

But that express looks an awful lot like my aunts Suzuki QT, and that thing tops out at like 20! are the express that slow?
