Advantages of used ATVs
New versus used can be a complex issue. A used ATV may come equiped with a variety of aftermarket accessories which can save you a bundle. And, of course, used ATV prices are lower. Some considerations are: how old is it? What’s the repair history? How was it used primarily? Was it ever raced, crashed? Are there maintenance records? Is it still under warranty/guarantee? What’s the condition of the body, the tires, the brakes and lights? Can you get the engine and transmission checked for any potential problems? Having an independent mechanic who you trust do an evaluation on an ATV you’re seriously considering buying is well worth the cost - both to help avoid future problems and for your own peace of mind. Too few buyers of used vehicles (of any kind) get an expert opinion - and many regret it later.
