Those G3 side panels are like looking for a needle in a haystack, and when they do pop up, they’re not cheap. I’ve had people offer me enough money over the years for my original matching pair that I could have gone and bought another moped, probably another shitty moped, but a moped none the less. I would budget between $100-$200 for those panels alone if you can ever find them.

Eeeeehhh, I wish I coulda rebuilt my g3 for only $500! I’m too embarrassed to say how much money I’ve thrown at mine, but just remember the blissful feeling of riding a working moped is PRICELESS.

You mean the odometer only has 273. I hate to be the one to let you know your new moped has been lying to you, but it’s extremely easy to ride it for a seven thousand miles and it will still say 273.
Also, the Sachs G3 spare parts list PDF book is a necessity. You can find it free online. Has diagrams of how the entire thing fits together and such. I end up referencing it just about every I wrench and keep a spare printed copy in my moped tool bag I keep on my pizza rack.
