Not only gts. All steel chassis as well.
I regret buying a 2020 primavera.
Watching some videos about rust issues.
I found rust spots as well underneath and in the battery compartment.
Piaggio never do things correctly anymore
8 years ago I bought a 2006 Vespa GT200 (carbureted) It was in like new condition, original owner, 1800 miles, obviously never been left outside. It came with a color matched Vespa top case, still new in the box. I paid $2200 USD for it. It was absolutely spotless, no rust, no rotted hoses, looked like it just came off the showroom floor. Within the first couple months I had two problems with it. The vacuum petcock failed, and the water pump started leaking. I replaced both those myself. It now has just over 14,000 miles, it has been properly maintained and living room kept, and is still in like new condition, top to bottom. I live in Arizona, U.S., and things just don't rust here. I'm in the middle of a desert, hot and dry, no salt and no rain.
I got given a 2000 Vespa ET2 I’m currently restoring it and honestly it’s not bad at all for 24 years old the floor pan was very rusty but not rotten suprisingly I saved it! All ground back protected and stone chip painted ontop ready for its base coat next week they definitely don’t make them like that anymore. I see loads of Vespas that are like 6+ years old rotten already crazy!
Very instructive video. I think this should be playing nonstop on every reputable workshop at the "horror corner" to educate customers.
Great video, made me chuckle... Altho it's the seller having the last laugh.!
Wow !! , i noticed you have a bike lift now after trying to source one 👍
Yup, just had to fork out the money in the end
Feel for the old boy, some pricks sold him a lemon, feel for him. Looks like its a joyride thats been dumped in a stream wi the amount o alloy casing n chassis corrosion.
Yup, think you’ve summed it up about right.
No way that rust and bodge weren't apparent at the MOT last July. I would advise the guy to report the MOT station. That did not go from perfect to that in 10 months.
Totally agree. Some dodgy dealings there I’d guess…
Thanks, most of us plebs think, current MOT, can't be that bad.@@drunkmunkey6969
I was looking for the swear counter in the corner of the screen 🤣🤣
Whileever there's a market for cheap stuff cheap stuff will get sold
I rarely swear in my videos, I don’t see the need. But this one fried my brain. What a piece of shit… 🤷🏻♂️😁
There are some shit pits out there, love your discription and honestly...
Best case scenario: get another similar scooter and keep this turd for parts. Having said that, I wouldn't use anything from this but the alternative is give it a sea burial.
At least with the 2T vietbodges of olden days, they made an effort to make it a shiny polished terd. This one? Not so much.
Yup. This one just screams bodge, nothing subtle about it…
Shocking!
I used to call them the Croydon specials 😂
How sad people are still willing to con people this bad.
Agree. Absolute wreck, poor bloke…
@@drunkmunkey6969 the previous time I had a scooter was 1980, it’s changed and not for the better, to many people that think I will have your trousers 👖 down!!!
It’s shocking really what people will buy. You can’t even say pretty bodywork was hiding the crap underneath! I wouldn’t have the nerve to consider selling that!
It’s shocking. It just wants scrapping for spares…
I honestly can't belive that, how did it even get an mot?!
That is bad really bad and very dangerous 😳
I feel sorry for the bloke who bought it…
A bit knackered.....
Shameful.
Especially ripping off an old chap.
Tho the old fella has a responsibility not to buy something so bad.
Agree
I was honestly shocked by the state of it!
Someone should be having words in the sellers shell like hearing device!
Was this used as a boat anchor at one time?
Looks like it
How did it get a MOT?
I was thinking the same thing…!
The title of the video should mention 'Used Scooter'.......I'm surprised at the beginning thinking that's a new one!!!
that scooter could be fixed up if not for the high price of itaiian scoot parts, a gy6 exhaust , 50 quid, and chinese scoots dont use a monocoque frame, who buys these things from new, the last buyer probably lost the least money
Who the fuck bought this ?
An old boy, nice old chap, no idea about scooters. Poor fella.
whoever sold this I bet was about 17 wearing a tracksuit and had a man bag around his shoulder. I used to repair motorcycles and my grandson bought a pit bike off some chav, he brought it round to me and said the back tyre was flat, I took the tyre off and inside was a pair of jeans!
@@bobwalker8907 jeans 😂
@@jeffman691 Yes and probably cost more than a new innertube
@@bobwalker8907 mate, imagine thinking it was a good idea lol some people are mental end of
