Little old lady pink? A rose by any other name is still a sweet ride --> elmira.craigslist.org/mcy/4522332157.htmlJust give it a good once over. 350 miles in 4 years isn't much. Probably will have original parts that need to be freshened up, (battery?, hoses?) If you decide to bring it home, give me a shout, and I'll be happy to share my experiences. |

Qlink -->
Just one of twenty or so different names this model gets badged with. They were all born in Taizhou at the Znen factory.
If it was Sym or Kymco it would cost double. I think the Qlink new retail price is so much higher than others because they offer a 2 year warranty. You get what you pay for.

I have a 2008 znen I bought off CL for $400 with 293 miles on it but it seems in my area that scooters don't resale for very much. I dig mine (same model different name) Good find, have fun with it!

$800 seems to high for a used scooter to me. As jerseyboy said you can purchase a new one for not much more. If I could talk him down a couple hundred I'd be good as long as everything else was good.
And yes the salesman in that 2nd video reminds me of Billy Mays. No disrespect to BM, but 'This is a dual paint job. YES!! BMS paints the bike twice. With a UV protectant!'
"WINDSHIELD!!"

It's in the range for one in excellent condition according to Kelly Blue Book, Trade In is $620 and retail at a dealer with a warranty is $1,025 so right in the middle is OK on a private sale. If it still has the original tires that would be a deduction as they will need to be replaced regardless of remaining tread due to age. The rubber will have hardened and will not grip as well as when new and depending on where it was parked may have already started to rot from settling of the carbon black and other compounds that keep them pliable and such.

In my area scoots you can get new from superior powersports for $1.200 sell used and abused on craigslist for $1,500. Really good deals by me are few and far between. Good luck with your hunt!!!

In my area scoots you can get new from superior powersports for $1.200 sell used and abused on craigslist for $1,500. Really good deals by me are few and far between. Good luck with your hunt!!! Every now and then I check out Craig's List and find that there is usually an initial listing at just below MSRP and then the bikes go off for a week or so and then back on again until they finally sell for 2/3 to 1/3 the original asking price. You may see a VOG 260 listed for $3,500 to $4,500 on occasion stating that the MSRP is $6,599 so its a "REAL BARGAIN" however we all know the real price was about $2,100 with $300 for shipping or about $2,400 delivered. so the bike gets re-listed a few times until the asking price drops to between $1,500 and $1,800. www.scooterdepot.us/260cc-super-power-gas-moped-scooter-p-408.htmlYou also see people saying the bike is equal to an Aprilia or Vespa model listing the $4,500 MSRP of my Aprilia Sport City for example however the Sport City is fuel injected bike with a 4 valve head that will compete for a place on the road with many 500cc and 600cc motorcycles but it did not sell for the $4,500 MSRP but was sold at an incentive price of $2,999 which is still not a valid comparison since the Chinese bike was about $2,500 from a local dealer. They do this in the hope that an uninformed person on an impulse will just take their word for it so they can make an unfair killing that they can later brag about. |
