At no other GS 150 modell the differences are bigger to the italian make, than at the GS 3. Most of them can be seen from outside and make this scooter a unique one, wich is especially searched by collectors and drivers who want to own a german-built Vespa. Fact is, that the qualitystandard in Augsburg was higher then in Italy. The parts are more precise, the comfort and quality of the seat made by Denfeld is unbeatable. Because there were less scooters built in Germany, the price of them today is much higher. If you plan to get a german GS 3 think about that: Also the spareparts are harder to find and more expensive. Many parts fit from the italian modell, but those parts wich are different can cause big troubles, even when you want to restore your GS 150 most original. Donīt buy a GS 3 without the right saddle, horn and speedometer.
