Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

YES... You read that correctly, 4 ORIGINAL MILES!!!

It's a 1996 two hours away from me for $700, he said it's "brand new" and it looks that way in the pics. I already talked him down to $650 over the phone, and will probably show up with $600 in hand if I go through with it...

Dudes girlfriend won it on a gameshow, and never touched it. He just spent $180 on getting it "serviced" and putting a new battery in it...

I really dont need another scooter, already got a 99 S, 89 E, 87 SE, and 02 Yamaha Vino... BUT THE THINGS GOT 4 ORIGINAL MILES!!! How can I pass it up?

What do you guys think? Should I pull the trigger or not?

I was just about to start re-building my 99, but the skirts are missing, seats a little torn, and plastics aren't much to look at. Im pretty sure I could get atleast $500 for mine, cuz scooters are pretty popular in my neck of the woods, and it still runs great...

What to do, what to do?

This thread is worthless without pics!!!!



Enlighten us

Here's some pics...





She sure is purdy, and I do kinda dig the purple as funny as that sounds! Same color as my 99, just in GREAT CONDITION!!!

buy the 1996 for $600 and put the 99 up for sale for $550 obo $100 or so for a perfectly new elite, can't beat it.

Buy it, stick in in a shipping container along with your sumo, and send it to me.

buying it would be no brainer

i mean 4ORG miles EEGADS thats awesome

Ok guys... Im thinking im gonna go through with it, even though I know I dont need another scooter... I CANT PASS UP A 1996 W/ 4 MILES...

If i go to get it, I gotta leave here pretty soon so that I can make it home on time to work on a school project (with a group that Im working on it with)... What do you guys think? Just need a few more opinions before I will 100% commit!

I know not many people are on right now, seeing that It's 6 in the morn here in Cali, but thought I would beg for a little more input!

THANK YOU TOAST!!! Thats what I keep on telling myself, and you answered me while I was posting another reply outreaching to the scooter gods for advice!

Brewing up some coffee right now, then I will be on my way! Wish me luck boys, hoping to post some pictures this evening!

im waiting....

Im back from down south... I GOT IT!!! This thing is IMMACULATE, it had 4.4 miles on it when I showed up, now it has 4.7 (kept my test ride as short as I could in the best interest of the mileage ). He said it only had 1.5 miles on it when he took it in to get serviced 3 weeks ago (new battery, drain old gas, carb clean, etc... $180 Total) He thought once he got it running his old lady would ride it, but she didn't, and he said he put on the <3 miles just to make sure that everything was in working order.

Its crazy to think that I put on almost 1/10th of the original miles already . I almost dont want to ride it!

Got it for $625, was really hoping to get it for $600, but I think I still came out ok

1 bad thing, I stopped by my Uncles house on the way house (he lives by the seller, about 2 hours away), and forgot my sweatshirt there with the keys in the pocket Im a total moron, but atleast I know the miles will stay low for a bit! Besides, I have tons of school stuff to deal with right now (end of the year/quarter) so I should focus on that anyway . He is supposed to be coming up weekend after next (6/13 & 6/14) and I think I can wait that long, if not he may have to throw one of the two original keys (with the dealer tag still on them ) in the mail tomorrow...

Pics to come soon, just got in the door 5 mins ago, and I know that this forum was the first group I should let know of my newest addition to the ever-growing fleet!

wow congrats!

great find! I'm glad someone on this board picked it up

sorry about the keys though.. gives you time to make plans for it!

wow. im jealous!!!

I was thinking I would ship it to Hawaii and ask $3,000 for it

I'm so pumped on it, I really dont even want to ride it, for fear that someone might scratch it or hit me in there car (less concerned with my own bodily injury, I heal on my own, but this thing wouldnt )

Very EXCITED... No real plans for it yet, just get the keys back in my posession

Im not even sure that I would modify it (atleast for a while) this thing still needs to be broken in! Thanks for the comments guys, and the input! If I would've passed on this I would have never forgiven myself!

Now I need to sell some other scooters to finance this one! The 87, 89, and 99 will be for sale sooner than later! I would keep them all, and invite you all to Cali for some scooter rides, but between registration and insurance I can't justify 5 scooters

I hate to part ways with any of my scoots, but the girly has a Vino that matches mine (pink & blue) and I've grown quit fond of that Minarelli thats tucked underneath it... It was originally gonna be my low mileage "Sunday Cruiser", but it has officially been replaced!
