You can buy used mopeds almost anywhere. Whatever state you live in, whatever city or town, there is a sales room near you.

You can just walk into any kind of showroom and pick up a brilliant deal on a good quality moped or scooter. But, be warned. There are cowboys out there that aim to sell poor quality products at the highest price possible. These kinds of people may even, in some cases, be selling on stolen mopeds and scooters. Please note that it is the buyer that will face the long arm of the law in a situation like this, as the sellers usually �disappear� after selling a few of their stolen bikes.

Buying a used moped is easy. Finding a used moped that will last you for more than one year is not so easy. When searching for a used moped, it is best to look to a reputable company that deals in only one �brand�, i.e. Peugeot, Vespa etc. These salesmen will know everything you would need to know to keep your moped running for as long as you intend to keep it. They may also be able to offer valuable advise about �at home� maintenance that might keep your used moped going for another few months. They will not �over-sell� a moped, they will tell you exactly what condition the bike is in, how old it is, previous service history and where the moped came from. No mess, no fuss!

You can also look to the internet to find a used moped. It is recommended that you do not look on eBay, as some of the mopeds may be in poor condition, or could be stolen. Whilst you may find the lowest price on eBay, you cannot always trust the seller. If you insist on purchasing a used moped from eBay, make sure you view the bike, possibly even take it for a test drive before any money changes hands, because you may not be able to get a refund on any eBay purchases, even if they are not as described on the website.

There are independent merchants all over the web that deal in new and used mopeds and scooters. These are usually reputable companies, some family run, and some are websites for already thriving show-rooms. These are good because lots of them offer free delivery on bikes that are priced over $300. You can find mopeds for as little as $50, but these used mopeds often require heavy maintenance if you intend to ride them regularly. Make sure you thoroughly read the description before committing to buy.

Used mopeds are very useful when money is tight. Even if you can afford a new bike, it is worth checking into your local show-room or going online to see if you can get a better price for a used moped.
