Yes, you can put one on layaway. The price you see is what you pay us. The tax title licence gets paid to dmv when you register it. The unit will come with paperwork to do so. to figure tax, just multiply by 6.25% so on $1000 you pay them $62.50 tax. the title and licence fee is $76.80, no matter what model or price.When do you want to start payments?

hello I recently found you web page and love you selection of bikes,
however there are three that have caught my eye
1. 150cc Moped (Alien Scooter) (LB150T-19) Street Legal Scooter for $975
2.150cc Moped (Voyager)(Lance Duke Touring 150) Street Legal Scooter! for $ 1000

and the one I would realy like to buy

3. 250cc Moped (YY250T) listed at $1800

but I would like to know if I could possibly sset up a monthly payment plan with $ 300 down and $ 400 to $ 450 a month until paid in full over 90 to 120 days

also could you give me to total for each bike with ttl + total , tax and licence so I could have a better Idea of the complete price.



Thank you

So the first thing I did was do an internet search to see f there were any consumer complaints at the BBB better bussiness bureau and this site also came up with various complaints from consumers two of which caught my eye the first

 

1. http://www.ripoffreport.com/motorcycles/olson-powersports/olson-powersports-family-excha-e53b6.htm

2. http://www.ripoffreport.com/sporting-good-manufactures/the-family-exchange/the-family-exchange-aka-ols-9bcy4.htm

3. and this one from the BBB

http://www.bbb.org/central-texas/business-reviews/motorcycles-dealers/the-family-exchange-in-new-braunfels-tx-90008773

showing a total of 156 complaints against this bussiness

the little voice was right this was a con in waiting

I wrote all the above to say this that your complaint kept me from getting ripped off so thank you all , i have very little money to waste and this guy would have taken me undermoney wisehad I did bussiness with them

I woudl reccommed that you report this bussiness to the following since it is 2011 and he is still in bussiness the ink below is to the FTC since he is doing interstate fraud you can also report him to the postmaster for Federal charges if you have sent money orders by mail

Federal trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

once again thank you all
