I am going to look at a 2009 GV tomorrow, 2nd owner (former family and now female owner) with just 1700 miles. Pix look great and description says ex cond. I am driving 2 hours with a trailer to see and possible buy. Negotiated price is $2500. Any thoughts on price, (seems good) and what I should pay attention to when inspecting? This is my first scooter but I previously owned an 1100 Yamaha. Planned usage it to take on motorhome for two up rides to town and sight seeing. Any thoughts would be great as I must deside tomorrow.

1st. Remember that the GV is designed for shorter people. Taller riders have made mods to the seat, but I suggest that they would be more comfortable on a different Kymco.
2. Always check the engine oil level and the air pressure in the tires. Those will tell you a lot about the manner in which the previous owner treated the scooter.
3. A 2009 with 1700 miles should be as good as new, so inspect for frame damage and front fork damage.
My DH & I are very happy with my 2009 GV with about 3k miles.
scoot safely,
