Keeping Costs Low When Buying a Used ATV or UTV

If you're in the market for an ATV or UTV, chances are that you want to be able to hit the trail as soon as possible. If you're working with a limited budget, though, buying a new off-road vehicle can seem like an unreachable goal. To help you obtain an ATV or UTV quickly without breaking the bank, your best option is to buy a used model. Understanding how to spot the best deals on used models can help you save even more money. For a great selection of ATVs and UTVs, visit us at Langston Motorsports in Perris, California, serving Temecula and Orange County.

Know the Value

Before beginning your search, it's important to get a good handle on the value of used ATVs. Skipping this step could put you at risk of overpaying for something that you'll be dissatisfied with later. You can use Kelley Blue Book values to establish a baseline for many types of ATVs and UTVs and then compare these prices to prices on various used marketplaces.

Consider Dealers and Private Sellers

To help get the best price, it's important that you don't limit your search to only dealers or only private sellers. Depending on the sales being offered, you may be able to find a lower price at a dealer even though private sellers have less overhead. If you do buy from a private seller, an important factor to keep in mind is that you need to be more careful about looking over the ATV or UTV before you buy it so that you don't end up with a lemon.

Bundle When You Can

For an ATV or UTV to be as useful as possible, you'll need some accessories. To help get a better value for your money when buying used, it's always good to try and bundle these accessories with your purchase. Thus, whether you need a helmet, gear rack, winch, extra tires, or some other type of accessory, you'll have what you need from the moment you arrive at home with your new-to-you off-road vehicle.

Make Sure to Have the Cash

To avoid paying interest, you'll want to pay for the full cost of the ATV or UTV in cash. Given the prices of many used off-road vehicles, it's important to plan ahead to ensure you have enough cash so that your ideal used ATV or UTV doesn't get away.
