I bought a Honda Big Ruckus at a phenomenal price several years ago after the seller claimed it only needed a carb cleaning because it hadn't run in a couple of years. Guess what. It hadn't been run because it was in a flood and every bearing in it was corroded. After a great deal of time, effort and cash it was disposed of. Chinese scooters aren't the only Lemons out there.
In defense of used scooters though, my 2009 Fashion has been a model of good behavior. It suffered a known problem unrelated to prior abuse but has been a trusted friend for two years now.

Thanks for the update. Sadly, sometimes that's how we learn. The main thing to take away from this is that usually, it's an easy small thing. Happy riding to you..
