2007 Schwinn Graduate 150cc Scooter - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

So I found this scooter on craigslist for $1500 and it has 16 miles on it. I checked online and the price for a new one is $2000, and the scooter store in town said they have them for $2300 new.

It looks like a pretty sweet scooter, the only thing is I can't find any reviews about it. Do you think it's a good deal? I will be using it mostly for getting to and from work and stuff like that.

Edit: Here's a pic of the scooter.

The mini sissy bar is funny. I would be cautious, the scooters coming out of China these days are pretty much garbage. I love Schwinn but they're not above slapping their label on a piece of crap. If you're going to spend that much on a scooter don't F around, get a Honda or a Vespa.

the best thing you can do is arrange to see it in person.. try and stop at a vespa / honda dealer prior to viewing it so you can get a handle on what similiar scooters are like before hand.

Thanks for the info guys. As an update, I ended up getting it. I got it for $1300 and I love it so far.

Interesting but... i would have just gone out and got a honda rebel or something. Dirt cheap motorcycle but it can handle highway speeds. Only 250cc so insurance would still be low and still very good on gas. Scooters scare me because a bad pot hole with those tiny wheels could send you flying a little too easy.
