I will not buy this scooter. With all my honesty, I think people will not buy this scooter at that price. If it was at $1500 at least people will consider buying it. Scooters are not very popular on this area of California (sutter buttes) so i really believe that scooter will be hard to sell in those conditions.
They didnt even bothered in cleaning it before i arrived so it at least looked clean. They live in a dusty place so the scooter was full of it everywhere. Oh and it does not have the right mirror. They said they could not find it after the crash. I forgot to take pictures. Sorry
This scooter is not worth $2200 (they were selling it at 2500$ when I first saw the ad on craigslist)

And indeed, those scratches and lose body parts will scare away buyers, it already scared one :lol:

Is there a significant difference between the 2015 and the 2013?

Larger fuel tank, full LED lighting, uprated amperage battery, modified Idle-Stop in case battery gets to low to operate this feature (idle-stop not on US models!), 12v power outlet, nicer looking :)

If you care, the 2015 model also uses a dual throttle cable, and they also rewired the sensor block for the throttle body. It makes engine modifications a real PITA if you choose to try to install a larger throttle body inside.

It's no problem if you don't screw with it to that extent though :D .

Yep. That 2013 is brand new and the 2015 you were looking at was used in a crash derby. :lol:
2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

I bet you can get a 2013 for under 2500 now. They have advantages over the 2015 too like being faster.

The only major difference that matters to me is the bigger fuel tank. for the price difference you could buy a bigger battery, which you probably don't need, and get all of the performance mods and add on's that I have.

I just need more fuel, so need some master of engineering to design a piggy back fuel pod that replaces the gas cap and looks like one of those bags that fills the step thru gap up. 2 gallons would be about perfect.
