I want to buy a traditional moped, bike with an engine in it. Any suggestions what sites and what to buy?

Since gas is getting more expensive, its been getting harder and harder to pay for my gas. I am on a very tight budget and it isnt easy. I want to buy a late 70's or early 80's moped. And not a scooter. A bike with an engine that goes max of 30 mph.
It has to be 49 cc because i dont want to get the other license.

I mainly want it to go to school and around town and such. It will be a very good investment for me and a couple of my friends have snarks and such and suggest i get one. I dont want to have to fix it up that much, but im aware that it will need some fixing probably.

i need a good website other than just ebay that will help me in buying one. Thanks

I would not suggest geting a moped at all. They have enough power to get you into trouble and not out. Also, the engines are a piece of crap and are troublesome and don't last very long.

If you reside in a state that requires actual moped pedals.

The core 49cc 4-stroke 139QMB specification China scooter engines and variable pulley drive units are generally very reliable . . most of the gremlins are fuel or electrical system related (online replacement parts are abundant). Initially change engine (15W40) and rear gearbox (80W90) oil at 50, 200, 500 and 1,000 kilometers (shown on most China scooter odometers) to flush out the suspended metal particles. Consider a NGK C7HSA spark plug.
