Honestly, the Piaggio was the really desired scoot - however, I don't think they would have taken $500 down and payments... And, I have a new scoot with an honest-to-goodness warranty! For 2 years, even...

For 2 years, even... Piaggio uses Sheffield too and the local Piaggio dealer will even accept a Chinese Scooter valued at $400 in trade and give you Sheffield financing sometimes at 0% during Piaggio Factory Incentives. I did not think I had that proverbial snowballs chance when I walked into a Piaggio dealership and sat on a Sport City 250. The finance manager said lets run the numbers just for fun and see, it will only take a few minutes. I am sure glad that I just didn't play Goldilocks and walk out confident that there was no way..... The Puig Sport Fairing that I put on my Sport City made a huge difference in how well the bike performs at over 25 mph since it is designed to reduce wind resistance. It was like I had put a larger engine in the bike and took me quite by surprise the first time I hit the entrance ramp to merge with Interstate traffic. I understand they work out quite well on the Super 8.

rocky, I think he was talking about the lady with the used Piggy on CL.
Although 'gull, if you're making payments on the new scoot, you probably could've gotten a loan on the used through a bank or credit place....

First rule: if you cannot pay cash, you cannot afford it!

Actually I made more money on the deal by leaving my money in a high yield account and taking the financing. Fuel savings over driving my gas guzzling cage to work made up for the payments so the bike ended up costing me absolutely nothing while I continued to garner interest on my working capital.
Sometimes taking the financing even though you have the cash in the bank is a winning proposition.

First rule: if you cannot pay cash, you cannot afford it! I agree with this in theory - however, in reality that ship sailed long ago...

Don't fret about not getting the piaggio most if not all of their engines/drivetrain are made by either sym or kymco ,,, Actually its probably the other way around however Piaggio did subcontract TGB to cast variator sheives for them somewhere about 2009. Earlier bikes may have had a Rotax Engine made in Austria especially on their Motorcycle Brands and Aprilia line of Scooters. Piaggio supplies engines to Derby, Pugoet, Aprilia, MotoGuzzi, Vespa, Guilerra, John Deer along with a number of Custom Motorcycle and Scooter Builders.
