I keep looking on eBay for a Dahon - plenty around but it is finding one near to were we live for easy collection
"Servicing" sometimes requires specialized tools(bottom bracket tools, headset spanner, etc.) and/or model specific parts(Dahon latches, hinge assembly, etc.).
In the UK; you can also check in Gumtree. Not sure if Craigslist/Facebook is popular in your location.
