full paintjob for a moped *even trade*

**bradccool** · 03-03-2003, 09:13 PM

well about 2 weeks ago I had my bumpers painted, trunklid painted *emblems shaved* dents taken out of back left Q panel......I posted pics on this board of it and asked if it was a fair price, well It didnt match PERFECT but it was close, but still be the perfectionist I am I wanna get the whole car to match! the main problem was of coarse MONEY! but b4 I had my good ole 3g I had a 2001 Tomos Targa MOPED and I been trying to sell it ever sence I got my license *I'm 16 hehe* well the same guy that painted my car b4 said he would trade me A full paintjob (outside not doorjams, but I am getting it the same color as the car is now) mirrors painted door handles(yea I gotta DX go ahead and laugh) painted and every dent taken out *not many dents in it* sounds like a great deal to me! so I think I am gonna part with the moped cuzz I put 5K on it while I owned it. I was just wondering what you all think, should I sell the moped for 600$ *what I am asking* or get the paint job?

If the accord's in good condition, then get the paintjob for sure. If it's like my accord, and rusted to bits, maybe keeping the moped's not a bad investment, :lol

if u paint it im sure u can sell it for more then 600

dude, i went to italy and they had fucking moped gangs there. you'd see like 20 of them cruising and they'd pull up at a stop like and like high five eachother and yell at everyone. i found it hilarious. i was going to yell shit at all of them (atleast 1 in every city) but i realized they could easily jump the sidewalk and chase my ass. oh well, if its a good paint job and they do everything right then i'd say it would be a good deal.

I have had two different Honda scooters. The first one when I turned 16 was a Honda Spree. It only went 25 mph and could only carry one person. I put about 3,000 miles on that before I bought a Honda Elite 80. That one can only go 40 mph but it can carry two people. I still have it and ride it once in a while. They are fun to ride even though they are slow. I have no idea how many miles I put on my newest one but I am guessing it is close to 5,000. I need to pull that thing out of the garage and go for a cruise today.
