What is considered high mileage ?
I'm look around to purchase my first scooter (2011 honda pcx) with 11,000. Original owner did cross country drive changed oil every 3,000 miles and has every service maintance receipt. Price $1500
Is this a good deal I don't know? Please help
Thank you

Re: What is considered high mileage ?
Sounds fair, blue book is around $2000 usd... But without pics or any other info it would be tough to give a fair estimate. Are there any upgrades or modifications to the scootz?
Current: 2011 Honda PCX125 (j.costa vario and j.costa exhaust)
Past: 2008 Honda Met (Dayton drag vario, CDI box, spark plug, kn filter, and a cup holder)

Re: What is considered high mileage ?
11,000 miles is nothing, but it will be needing a new drive belt, coolant and brake fluid soon if they haven't been changed already.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
Re: What is considered high mileage ?
The Belt has been changed and all fluids have been as well last month he has documents of all. I think im going to go for it!

Would this be the old type with the weak main stand?

Re: What is considered high mileage ?
11,000 sounds like high mileage to me, but I don't think it's necessarily a negative.
I'd prefer to have an 11,000 miles, well taken care of scooter over a 2011 PCX w/ 200 miles and has never had an oil change.

$1,500. What's that in real money? About £900? Bargain

Where are you located? Must be in Europe because the red one in the USA is the 150. As for mileage, 11k is not high. It is just getting comfortable. Speaking of comfort, I would change that seat or get the hump fixed. It is a pain in the back.

In Russia people sells used 2011 pcxs for $4000 ! And somebody buy them! I got my brand new but 2013 for $4500 to my door and I am sure it was a bargain here.. $1500 is nothing for such a great scooter! go for it!
