Ended up getting the problem fixed. Called the dealership and chewed the guy out and accused them of sabotage. The problem was the wiring harness to the back back lights had come completely unplugged. Strange how it worked for the test drive and not when we picked it up. Thanks for the help guys!

Alleyoop,
Thank you for the info! When we came back in the evening, it was past their hours of operation. I know for a fact that all 3 lights worked on the test drive. I checked myself. They do not light up at all now. Not when I squeeze the brake to start it, or when I turn the blinkers on. No lights in the rear whatsoever. I don't understand how 3 bulbs would all burn out in a matter of 3 days after they all worked. I will check with that 12v light tester.

Hello Everyone!
I am new here and new to the scooter business. My wife and I needed a second mode of transportation to get from home to work and college. We browsed around and found a 150cc scooter that was lightly used for $900 + taxes/fees. The dealership sold it new to a guy in the spring and he sold it back to them about a month ago because it was getting too cold.
So here's what happened. On Monday, we went in and test drove it (it had a full tank of gas). Runs absolutely fine. I did aquick look at all the lights and buttons as well. Everything lit up and the horn went beep. We told the dealership that we would take it and that we needed to wait till Thursday (payday) to get the money. When we came in Thursday, He had it sitting out front for us ready to go. We signed the paperwork and it was ours! We asked him if we could leave it there until rush hour passed by (new to the whole scooter deal and was awful at leaning to turn it). He said sure and that was that. When we came back that evening to get it, I turned it on and immediately noticed that the gas level was below half a tank. That was odd because he said he would hold it for us until we came back in with payment. Then we noticed that the rear lights don't work. Both blinkers and the tail light are non responsive to me tuning them on. Because it was a used scooter, they sold it "As-is no warranty". Which that didn't bother me because it worked flawlessly on the test drive. This dealership is also a certified place to repair them. Convenient right?
So my question is, is there something they could have done to make the rear lights in-op so that they could get the repair ticket and charge me more? Something I could fix? I am no mechanic what so ever.
The scooter is a 2014 Lance PCH 150cc in Matte red/black.
If you need to know more, please ask! I looked around and didn't see this problem anywhere.
Thank you,
Robert
