Bought my People GT 300i last month.  I was able to talk the dealer down to $950 off MSRP, i.e. $4449.  That included the $200 military appreciation discount.  After adding freight, set-up, processing fees, tax, title, etc... my OTD cost was $5691.  Oh, and I got the gas card promotion too.  2 $50 visa gift cards, so you don't necessarily need to use them on gas.

I travelled a little ways for my deal too, about 150 miles, mostly because I really wanted a silver one.  I was also intent on buying one in stock, and lucked out that it was a 2012 model.  I think the combination of it being last year's model, the weather still being cold (March is still kind of cold in Maryland), the $200 military promotion and the fact that I was willing to pay in cash led to the dealer giving me the $950 off list.

I've noticed the vibration too, but only when stopped.

MotoRandy: Thanks for the suggestion of black tape.  I may keep that as a back-up plan.
Scootaloot: When you bring yours in to Ultimate, post here again if you happen to see a silver People 300 on the showroom floor.  In the meantime, I've got one more dealer to check this weekend, a place just north of Annapolis.

Thanks everyone; I'm looking forward to getting this scooter for spring!

I'm seriously considering buying a Kymco People 300i in the near future. I've done a LOT of research using the internet; online reviews, this forum, etc... and have learned a lot.  I've been to three dealers in the last week, and finally found a black one this morning on the showroom floor.  This gave me the opportunity to sit on it, check the feel, and get a first hand idea of the storage size.  However, this floor model did not have the battery charged up.  In fact, when we lifted the seat we found a package with the battery fluid in it.  So, I wasn't able to see what the dash looks like with the power on.  Can one of you owners out there let me know whether the dash is back lit?  Will everything be legible when riding at night? If so, can you confirm that ALL areas of the dash are back lit including the LCD screen?

By the way, I'm really more interested in getting a silver one.  I figure motorcycles/scooters are hard enough for motorists to see; why make it harder by driving a black one?  Anyone know of a silver one available in the greater DC area?  I live in Southern Maryland, but am willing to drive a couple of hundred miles if it's a good deal.
