Fair price?

Post by jazzman »

We're thinking of buying a 2008 Buddy 50 with a topcase and rear rack and were given an out the door price of $2650. Does this seem like a fair price? It seems like all the "other" charges really bumped the price up from the $1999 msrp. Is this typical? Any "new buyer" advice would be appreciated.

If you start out with geunines msrp of $2000 and then ad a rack that seems to go for another $80 and then a top case that goes for $126 you get $2206. I paid for my registration/title/plates/tax/ect myself on a 125 and that added up to another $240 (tho you probbly don't have to regsister). I used this site to price the accessories, so I don't know how they run in the grand scheme of things. Just some numbers for you to think about.

It's fair, tax and prep usually add another 2-300 dollars, so you're getting a good deal.

I just bought my 50cc Buddy!

I got a 2007 model because that is what they had... I really wanted the new orange one, but I am LOVING the cream one that I got.

I paid $1980.08 for the scooter plus an additional $104.31 for a helmet and a cover.
