Find the cheapest place you can online. It doesn't really matter what state its in. Then call the dealers near you and ask their price. Start negotiating by telling them that you want to buy local, but are more than willing to travel for the low price another dealer is offering. Ask them to match that dealer. Negotiate hard, make them realize you're a buyer and not a looker, and show up with real numbers in hand. My problem was that I had to get a truck form Lowes and I really don't like to drive far in something that's not mine, and the othere thing is that the next dealer was 20 miles farther away and they whated me to wait a mouth and a half intell that scooter came back instock. Bean 2 mouths now and they haven't got back to me? I'm stilling whating to get one but because of this IDK when.

But even the truck rental is not much compared to the fact that you might save $500 by shopping around. Plus, the Lowe's rental truck is insured, so just drive slow and you'll be fine.

The place whated me to spend $2700 + taxxes and + them sending it to me house. So all together it would of bean ALMOST $3000.00 for a 50cc?

Your English teacher must be proud. -1 for not shopping around. Several have told you that this is too much and yet beating your head against the same wall seems like a good idea.  Its your $$$, do what you want.

Just wait for a deal and go rent a truck or drive it back depending on how far it is. I have bean looking on there and I did see a silver vino for about $1600.00 with good miles on it.
