A vintage Vespa is not only a timeless icon of style, it can also be a great investment. But there are some things to watch out for when purchasing a vintage Vespa scooter, especially when buying online. Vespas were and still are manufactured in many parts of the world. Whenever a vintage bike is manufactured and/or used outside of Italy the history is very unclear. There could have been a number of modifications made to the body and motor. A bike can get a fancy paint job and look great but mechanically it may not be sound. Sometimes even not road worthy and safe for the rider. We urge you to do your research before purchasing a vintage scooter. It is best to get the VIN of the bike and check the Carfax history if possible. Or buy from someone you trust.
