Well, it is a 'need' but not one that can't wait a couple more months...

You've made some good points, thank you WowItsDark. I thought if I had cash, they'd really want to cut me a little slack......... I know the dealer doesn't make much on a scooter, maybe only a couple hundred. This one sells for $2,500, and then they add in the tax, title, tag, fees, etc, and it comes to $3,406. We want this particular model, because it is a 4 stroke and more reliable, plus, it is a very popular model, and if I wanted to sell it later down the line, it would be snatched up fast. It's hard to find a used one, because they are so popular. And we are quite rural, so options are few and FAR inbetween. I say FAR because we live way out in the country.
