Oh hell no...

30-40MPH is what they do., and tail pipes rust.

Since it runs... anywhere between $1.00, and $700.00 is fair. Since they made you take a couple hours of your time to research a less than normal transaction, I would lean closer to $500.00.
They cost around 1,300.00 new.

The owner's lowest price for me is $600 she won't go less than that, claiming there is a couple of guys who want to pay full price ($700). What about the tail pipes rust is it something that can cause problems, like the scooter not working,etc , this will be my main transportation. Thanks for following up with my questions.

So buying from someone who says that the owner of the scooter is their friend and they left the signed title with the bike so they can sell it while they are away, is this legit, any risks ? Should I have information of the person who is selling (name address, take a look at their ID/DL) even if it's not their bike, and since she is the one I am dealing with ? or there is a place in the title that can include the intermediates / seller if other than owner ?

Same here... You can pop off the inspection cover, copy the vin, and go to the local cop shop too. I had to do that w/ mine.

If they do have the title it is pretty sure it's not stolen BUT who knows the circumstances. Plus it is felony forgery for a second/third party to sign a title. If it's signed before you get there?? Who knows.

The mileage is a non issue. 5k miles in 90 days is just 55 miles per day. I do half of that but live in a 5 mile long town from end to end.
The warranty is transferable, and the manual is free on line Both non issues.

I would ask to see the signed title, and compare the frame number (under an egg shaped cover on the frame down tube between your feet). If the numbers match go to the local PD or DMV, and verify it's not reported.
Nothing worse than going to resister, and having to hand the bike over.

Thank you for your response zombie.

So verifying the VIN with DMV is a common thing they do, are they going to charge me for that ? what else DMV can pull that can help me determine if this is a deal.

Let's say the bike is not reported/stolen according to VIN check, is  there any legal issue in buying from someone who doesn't own the bike but has a signed title by the owner (who is a friend who moved to another state) so there is no way to verify the identity of the owner. How can you tell if it's not a fake title/signature ?

I found online someone who wants to sell their friend's scooter who moved to another state, it's a Kymco agility 50 bought new in summer 2013. They said she used it 3 months during summer and it's a bit weird how it was bought new and it has 6000 miles now on it after 3 months of riding. How safe is it to buy from a friend who has a signed title of their friend's scooter? I didn't see the scooter yet just texting with the friend who has the scooter and posted the ad, the price is $700, after asking about warranty they said the dealer didn't mention anything about it. Asked about owner manual she said the owner misplaced it, and they can take 50 bucks off the price for that. Please any in put could help to make a decision. I don't want to buy a stolen, or get in trouble 

I just bought a 2013 agility 125 for $1750 sale price and a little over $2000 with all the tax and registration stuff.

Where did you buy it ?

I have to mention that today I called some dealers here in central Florida and the price seemed to be around the same +/- 100 to 200 so for the agility 50 I got OTD with TTL included from $1900 to $2050, and for the 125cc I got OTD with TTL from $2200 to $2400. IDK if it's just a phone quotes or it's actually the price they sell them here in this area. Some dealers will give the numbers with not a lot of questions, some would ask for name, city, what prices I got before calling them, etc.

hard to say.  I just paid ~1400 OTD for an agility 50, and $1600 OTD for an agility 125, in Minnesota, but that was for 2013 models.  If you are paying 1900 for your 125 with your discount, what is the FL sales tax?  ~$125? that would leave $175 for registration and title, which seems high.

 

The prices I got for my potential dealer, are for 2014 agility 50 & 125.
The sales tax here is 6.5%. So the OTD price includes the sales tax and registration and title, by law if you buy a new scooter from a dealer, he gets the title registration and all that done and you pay him for that. How much your new scooters costed you, with sales taxes title registration all included bottom line price?

Hi everyone,

Is $1900 out-the-door, including tax, registration and title, a good price for the agility 50 (Base price: $1695 with $100 student manufacturer discount)?

What about $2200 out-the-door, including registration and title, for the agility 125 (Base price: $1999 with $100 student manufacturer discount)?

The dealer claim no set-up fees.

If not, what is the average price I should pay to avoid being over charged when buying one of these. Now, I am more interested in the 125cc for more speed. This is my first motorcycle so it's kind of an investment to get around to work, school, etc.

Any tips to bring the price down, when going over the only dealer who carry the Kymcos in my area? Used the student discount to bring it down but I would like to know what you guys think.
