Deciding What You Want
Before heading to the dealership, it’s a good idea to figure out exactly what you’re looking for in a used powersports rig. Narrowing down your choices will help you to avoid getting overwhelmed when looking at models for sale.
Consider what you want to use the pre-owned powersports vehicle for:
- Recreational riding: look for a lighter frame and tighter handling.
- Racing: seek out higher speed capacity.
- Work projects: look for hauling capabilities and extra storage.
- Hunting: look for plenty of space to transport tools and game.
You will also need to think about your personal riding capabilities and any features you want in a used powersports model.
Create a Budget
Building a budget is an important part of choosing a used powersports vehicle. Start by figuring out how much you can and are willing to spend. Don’t forget to factor in additional costs like gear, maintenance, and more.
Vehicle History
Before buying a used powersports rig, make sure to ask for a copy of maintenance records. This will let you know how well the machine has been taken care of as well as any major repairs. Ask questions about how often the vehicle was ridden as well as where it was ridden.
Examine the Model
Once you find a used powersports vehicle you like, make sure to inspect it. Check the oil, examine the frame for dents, check for rust, and look at any upgrades that were made to the rig. You may even want a professional mechanic to inspect the model for any potential problems.
Take it for a Test Drive
Don’t forget to take the used powersports machine for a test drive. This will show you how well the rig handles as well as if you’re comfortable riding it.
