Modern Buddy

I see on Pittsburg,Pa craigslist there is 2 new 125 buddys(leftovers with extras and 2 yr warranty) asking $2250 each. I think I paid much more than that for my 2 06's when they were new. Sorry I don't knowhow to post a link for them, Don

new buddies are $2,695. BUT that doesn't include inbound freight, set-up and tax. Some dealers charge reasonable fees for these things, and some are sky high. Either way 2250 is very cheap for a new buddy. That is called winter and the dealer needs some cash

You've already answered your own question. In Pittsburg anyway, the asking price for a new one is $2250 + you get the Genuine 2 year warranty and "extras" whatever that means. Why wait? Hurry on down and grab one before they're gone!

As viney266 observes, it is common for dealers to quote scooter prices before transport fees, set up fees, sales tax, title and license fees, etc. In other words, the "out the door" cost could be substantially higher than $2250. Even so, $450 below MSRP would still be a good discount.

The cost of those not-included-in-the-price fees and taxes can vary substantially from place to place, so it doesn't make sense for the manufacturer to include them in the list price. Also, dealers' expenses can vary a lot, depending on the local labor and real estate prices. It would be nice if more scooter dealers (as well as car dealers [grumble]) would advertise "out the door" prices instead, but ... they don't.

I think this is what Don is referring to: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/4809247513.html Might be a deal here!

If that's so I wonder if the paperwork would be handled by the closing shop or would be left to the buyer?

Thanks Dage'sView for posting the link. I thought if anyone in the tri-state area was looking for a new Buddy that these may be a good deal and from the looks of the situation there may not even be any "fees" involved.

For sure it's a deal especially with the top cases and windshields as the "extras". Note also that $2,250 is the "asking" price and it's a distress sale - seller is helping out the daughters of the late owner. If I lived in PA I'd be on this in a flash while you guys are just talking about it.

Whatever the reason - they are priced to move. Someone is going to pick up an incredible scooter for a steal of a deal. When you consider the windshield, rear rack and top case… serious seller! This rivals a few of the sweet deals we have gotten on our past scooters!
