GT300i Drops $500.00
« on: March 11, 2016, 10:56:57 AM »
I noticed this on FB yesterday. $5399.00 to $4899.00 I guess Kymco wants some marketshare back.

Personally, I think this is what the price should have been to start with.
IMHO $5400. is a bit steep for a 300cc scoot.

When my GT wears out, I plan to buy another one just like the one I have.

I agree Boo. I like mine well enough. If I had a Piaggio dealer within my home (45 miles away) I would have purchased the BV350 myself. $5400.00 is too much of a retail price.

Kinda strange you would say that.
When I was looking at scoots I too was interested in the BV 350.
My problem was the only Piaggio dealer within 300 miles of me closed about that same time.
That is how I ended up with the GTI300. No regrets though.

Boo: A few years back, Piaggio was plagued with QC issues & parts availability. Not so anymore. I had a chance to purchase a new leftover 2014/15 BV350 (Silver with a Burgundy seat/accents) for $4600.00 OTD. I was close to pulling the trigger. But I thought about it. My GT300i was paid for & the dealer was simply too far away. I'm happy with my GT300i. Did a little work to it & it starts-up every Spring (I live in New England) on the 1st try. Still have the original OEM battery from 2012. I use a Deltran Battery Tender Jr. on a float charge all of the time. In the Winter I keep in wrapped-up in two covers. Own a home, but no garage.

This price drop plus military discount of $500  thru end of March makes this scooter very attractive----probably puts it at true value.

I am planning on riding my leftoverSilverWing600, 2013 another 20,000 miles....but buying a spare at right price? Going to think strong about  it.

Only problem for me....see over windshield that requires no cutting.   Any tips/experiences on windshield.

Has anyone heard of the new model in 2017? My Kymco dealer said that they're gearing up for a new model GTI.
