Your Used Powersports Buying Checklist

Buying a used powersports vehicle instead of a new model is an excellent way to save yourself money while still getting a high-quality vehicle that will serve you well. No matter whether you’re looking for a motorcycle, ATV, UTV, or another type of vehicle, it’s important to make sure you’re ready to complete the buying process. Here’s how to prepare.

Budgeting

Make sure that you’ve got enough money to pay for the used powersports vehicle outright, along with sufficient funds for insurance, riding gear, and maintenance. If you already own a powersports vehicle that you’re looking to trade in, this could be a good source of money for your purchase.

Know Your Riding Level

You should also be realistic about your riding experience level so that you can select a used powersports vehicle that is suitable for you. Don’t be dazzled by tons of features or a super-low price tag on a model that you know is too powerful for you.

Check the Condition

Examine the powersports vehicle when the engine is cold so that you can get an accurate sense of its condition. Try to do a test ride if possible so that you can check the lights, signals, brakes, and other functions.
