If you live near a major city, see if there is a scooter rental facility in the area. I bought a 2 year old 49cc Honda scooter with some minor front front end damage for $900.00, with less than 2000 miles on it. Spent 300 bucks on a new fairing and some trim pieces, looks like new and runs great. Maybe a local rental place has something similar, or sells their old scooters every few years. Worth a look if you can`t find something elsewhere.
