Tips for Buying a Used Powersports Vehicle

A used powersports vehicle offers the performance you want at a much lower price tag. You get to use depreciation to your advantage to drastically cut down the initial asking price. This allows you to afford a higher-end model than you would be able to buy new. However, not all pre-owned models on the market are a good deal. There’s a possibility of some hidden issues that can cost you expensive repairs down the road. We've created the following buyer's guide to help you find a quality, affordable option.
 

Do Your Research 

One of the perks of buying a used powersports vehicle is that you get plenty of extra information to guide your search. Pre-owned models have already been used, which means current owners already know how well they work. Spend some time reading customer reviews and forums to get an idea about models that are worth the investment and which ones you should avoid. See whether current owners talk about how much they love their vehicle or talk about how often it breaks down. This could save you from getting a less-than-ideal deal.
 

Ask the Seller Questions

Once you've got a few possible used powersports vehicles in mind, it's time to see them in person! When you visit a dealership, try to gather as much information as possible. The more you know, the easier it will be to make an informed buying decision. Start by asking about the vehicle’s history. This can help you make an educated guess about how likely that model is to run into issues. You'll also want to find out more about previous owners and why they sold the vehicle. 
 

Inspection

Next, you'll want to inspect the used powersports vehicle that you’re interested in buying. Here, you are looking for any red flags that could lead to costly repairs down the road. You can consider hiring a professional to do the inspection. They can catch a wide range of issues that you might have missed. They can also provide valuable insight into the condition of a vehicle.
 

Test Drive

After you’ve conducted a thorough inspection, the last step is to take the used powersports vehicle on a test ride. Make sure it starts up without any issues. Be on the lookout for odd sounds or thick clouds of smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe once the engine is running. All of these are signs of underlying issues that you want to avoid.
