How much do you think this is worth?

[Joish]

Could you tell me how much you would pay for this scooter?

It was bought in July 2007 and has 1500 miles on the clock, thats all I know, so far..

They want £850 for it and I'm going to see it on Wednesday 





My opinion is: at my local dealer I can get a new Super 9 + TPO insurance (£99) + what ever they might throw in for £1300.

The cheapest insurance quote I'm getting at the minute is £261 for TPO on the 'GoCompare' comparison site. So say if I pay asking for the second hand Super 9 (£850) and my insurance will be £261 that means the total for the scooter pictured above would be £1111. So, according to my logic I would rather cash out the extra £189 for a new one    I think £400 for the scooter above would be a fair price  What do you guys think? 

Thanks, Josh

Wonder why they're selling it already?  Are the new Super 9 scooters still liquid cooled where you are?  Here in the United States they switched to an air cooled engine because it was already "EPA" certified, and the liquid cooled engines were not.  If it's between the air cooled and liquid cooled bike, I would go with the liquid cooled.  They also have rear disc brakes, which the AC ones don't have.

It's a nice bike.   I think you'll like it.  I have an LC Super 9, you can see it in this forum.

Cheers!

Let's see. At the current exchange rate 189 GBP is about $290 US. Yeah, I think I'd go with a new one. No warranty hassles and you know it hasn't been abused. On the down side you do have to go through the break-in period and pay for the first service (Assuming the warranty is pretty much the same in England as here in the colonies.

Hey Josh,

Ya, I would buy new unless you can get a better price on the '07.  I only wish we could get the lc on this side of the pond.  It's getting harder and harder to find a clean lc super 9 over here... I'm trying to build up a "stash" 'cause they aren't around new anymore.  I even tried to order one from Canada and a Derbi GPR online from England, but of course never herd anything back.  Oh well...

Good Luck
... and Rock On!

whats the big difference between liquid cooled and aircooled?- is there a difference in reliability?

[getonit]

The older lc has a rear disk break, tachometer, better lights ( w/ hi beam), and of course it's liquid cooled.  It also has about 1 extra horse, which is a lot when you're only talking about 3 or 4 total. 

As far as reliability the ac is very good, but liquid cooling is a big plus... especially if it's modded of used in hot weather.

THE LC IS A GREAT SCOOTER

Buy it! Ask if they have another one, and but it too. I see $290.00 on a prior post! Is that the asking price? Buy three! http://www.kbb.com/motorcycle   Use that site to find the US retail value. It is regional so you can use 32322 for the Zip Code. Just off the top of my head I would give up to a grand for a pristine s9, couple of years old in great shape $700.00. BUT it's my favorite 50cc.
