Thanks for the help all.
I've decided I'm going to pass. I think it'll take too much work to get it up to speed (including title), plus the things I'll have to do to myself (license, training etc.), plus he is in another state so the gas to simply go get it is non-trivial. That, and I don't really have a place to store it out of the weather at my place.
Thanks again. I might be back in the future, so see you on the flip side.

Thanks all.
I'll definitely look up the MSF.
I'm in Wichita. Any decent places to go that are honest and fair?
And what is a good price for this, that's in fairly good shape, doesn't leak, nothing looks broken, but doesn't start?
I went to craigslist, and all the 150cc-class were $300. Didn't seem to matter age, brand, mileage, all were about $300. Is that where I should start?

I have a friend who is wanting to sell his scooter.
It's an Eagle 150-T5, 150cc, 2008, with a few hundred miles on it.
It looks like it's in fairly decent shape, having been in storage for the last few years. He also said it didn't start. It does have good brakes tho.
He wants $700 for it.
Is Eagle a good brand? Is this a good model?
Is this a good deal?
More general questions I need to know about scooters. This will be my first, and I'd use it to save gas on short trips, to the grocery, work, church.
Where would I get it serviced and repaired*? Would the local car place be good enuf for most things like oil changes, or does it need to be a specialized scooter place like a dealer? How much should I expect to pay?
It's big enuf that I also need a motorcycle license, right? I've never had a motorcycle before, so I'd probably want some lessons. Where would I find those?
Any newbie help you can give me would be appreciated!
*since i live in Kansas, taking it to the dealer/owner of this board would be rather a longish ride!
