$1200 for a (nice) scooter that you can drive maybe 9/12 months.
$3500 for an (ok) car that you can drive 12/12 months.
For those on a budget/single vehicle household the answer is clear. However as a second vehicle, or third it could make more sense.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoI'm not sure if the answer is clear, it's not to me. I'd guess you mean the car, but $1300 aint peanuts and IME (in the UK) it's things like the road tax (yearly fixed cost), upkeep and petrol that's going to matter in that assessment. I remember first filling up my scooter (a Piaggio Skipper, I got rid of over a decade ago): at the time my tank of fuel in previous car was £30, the scooter was £3.50. A little less range but it did 3 times the mileage and could do 65mph. We scooted for a couple of years, used public transport or hired cars when needed. Only had to ride in snow a few times though.
