Answer 1

New entry level 50 cc Vespa is $4100. Unless you are mechanically minded, be careful of a 40 year old scooter. Go to the factory website, input your zip code and look for a dealer. Ask the dealer to help you find a 3-5 year old scooter.

Answer 2

Vespas are pricey. There are dealer for the brand new, ebay and craigslist are good. Ebay there are the foreign Vietnam rebuilders that sell the classic scooter for $2500 to $3000 dollars. Some rebuilders in the states to. I say that it's not too bad. Never ridden a Vespa but I say like BMW and Mercedes in cars you are paying for a name. I say stick with local Craigslist, something will pop up. But don't  expect to see anything less than $1500.
