Top Tips For Selling Your Scooter:

For anybody looking to buy a vespa or even to sell their own then there are a number of factors that can help in getting the best deal. We have compiled a list of the best tips to follow when buying or selling your scooter in order to get the optimum price and overall package.

Firstly, for those unaware lets take a look at the history of the Vespa and why it is so popular.
The Vespa is an Italian scooter manufactured by Piaggio since 1946. It has progressed from a single model to a full line of scooters since those days and is seen by many to epitomise style and elegance. Vespa itself means wasp in Italian and the name came about due to the buzzing sound of the engine and the steering wheel which resembled antennae.

There is a desire amongst many to own a Vespa due to a number of factors such as manoeuvrability amongst traffic in cities, easy parking, vespa prices are reasonable when taking into account running costs compared with a car, and you can pick up some good deals on used vespa scooters.

So lets take a look at the top tips for selling a Vespa.
In reverse order:

[7]Go to sites like Ebay and other auto classified sites. Search for the type of Vespa scooters for sale and check the model you are selling.

[6]Check the prices for the scooters and look at the model you are looking to sell.
When you have found a vespa for sale or preferably a few you should be able to gauge an average price that they are being sold for. From this you can set your price with the knowledge that there are people willing to pay these prices.

[5]Next write a compelling ad to sell your scooter. Include the mileage, how it was used, the condition it is in. When you list all the desirable features make sure to include any slight problems that you have found. This will make the highly desirable factors seem much more realistic and less exaggerated.

[4]In some regions it is not necessary to hold a drivers licence to drive your Vespa. If this is the case then you should include this information in your ad and it will increase desirability.

[3]Include options for local pick-up as this will save a lot on cost and increase likelihood of purchase. If they are not able to pick-up you will need to calculate the cost to send it to the buyer and this will add quite a bit to the sale price.

[2]Include a number of quality photos of all areas of the scooter and any vespa accessories you have.. Make sure you take these in an area with a lot of light for best quality.

[1]Draw attention to your ads by promoting it in forums and the many free advertising space online.
