Hi all,

 

I am looking to get a cheap automatic vespa to scoot around and I found this bike with the following specs. Is it worth getting?

 

1. Vespa ET8
   
2. 125cc
   
3. 4 stroke
   
4. 1 owner
   
5. 10yr old renew COE
   
6. 74000km
   
7. New paint of my choice
   
8. New trim
   
9. New switches
   
10. New belt
    
11. 1 time Servicing
    
12. Original box
    

 

Bike alone cost $2K

Bike with new paint $2.8k

Bike with new paint and box $3k

 

Is it worth?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Ah Chi

$800 for a paint job?? what kind of paint?? Seems like a bit of a con if you ask me...

 

You can get a second hand et8 for less than 2k anyway...

 

Shop around for a better deal...

Hi all,

Just got my 2B license back after 20 years of expiring and 3 years of starting, stalling, restarting n finally...

 

Anyways, obviously I gotta get a ride and is considering two options- a used or a brand new Vespa.

 

If I get a used Vespa (I've seen those older ones at few hundreds to few Ks), what should I be looking out for? Maintenance?

 

I remember the old PX are all "manual", right? I'm used to the normal clutch, etc but the Vespa's???

 

Thank you all.

buy the lx150! it's automatic, with no gears. It's a modern looking version of the vespa's plus it's comfortable and smooth to ride on....but u will have to pay quite a hefty price for it. I got mine for around 7.9k

Go read up on the Vespa thread and ask yr questions there

small tires. . not worth. .

hi, if u are on budget,i suggest u get a 2nd hand vespa px or older version although its manual hand geared not like those u learn at riding schools.u'll get the hang.maintenance wise mayb ard 30 plus(could be cheaper ask ard) for every 4mths or so if ur engine is gd.

 

If money is not an issue, go for a modern vespa den like lx150,vespa S etc. i nv ride a modern b4 so i cannot comment on the maintenance area.its has a nice pick up i think. anyway, im riding a vespa px150e myself (5mth plus) , and loving the sound.P plate

hi smile_smurf, u can try Tong Aik at goldenwall centre near short st.i bought from them a px 1.3k.u can try other shops like Hendra,jin cheng motors(ask ard).

 

ask the mechanic abt the vespa u like and get one wif a gd engine tho.thats my best advice.cheap and gd.cosmetics can come later.
