Determination is amazing. Also, it was interesting to note that when I started typing genuine (I'd actually f...

I'm going to eventually sell the Buddy, no doubt. I will need the $$$ for the Vespa, but I was waiting for the summer to be over and the desperation of after Xmas bills to get serious on buying a used Vespa.

Epic Motorsports in Goleta will match Thousand Oaks Powersports. Both dealers want to move them out. Epic will charge less prep fees though. Good luck This was at EPIC in Goleta, and I told them I'd buy it at $3K and they wouldn't sell it to me. But obviously other shops are selling them at $3K OTD.
