I just got a P150 and asked the same question of my dealer. The owner has a Kymco, so that helps me know that they will keep parts on hand and be able to make repairs. Plus, this dealer is a family owned and run business with strong ties to the local scoot community. Their reputation depends mostly on service after the sale, not just getting units out the door. It's a great situation. Regardless, they still only carry Kymco, Sym, and Genuine scooters - no Chinese junk scooters.
