New Nor Cal looking for a scoot

[Pickleman]

Back in college in the late 80's, I put 36 thousand miles on a Honda Elite 250 scooter. Rain (humbolt county) or shine, the scoot was my only transportation. Now my daughter is going to college, and I want to get her a good scooter. I was looking at the Lance models made by Sym, but it doesn't seem like any dealers want to come off MSRP, even for a 2013 model. What gives? Is there a good way to find a good deal out there?
