Once you’ve read our article, feel free to stop by our dealership in Monee, Illinois to see our impressive inventory of powersport vehicles. We not only offer new and used models for sale, but also have trade-in and financing options!
Why Buy Used
Affordable
When it comes down to it, a used model is much more affordable than a new one. If you’re on a tight budget and not interested in taking out a recreational loan, a used model will be best for you. However, savings don’t stop at the initial sticker price! With a used model you’ll be able to purchase aftermarket parts that are made with the same quality for a lesser price. If you plan on reselling your vehicle in the future your used model won't depreciate as quickly, helping you get a better return on your investment.
Reviews
One of the most helpful benefits that come with buying a used powersport vehicle is the available model and equipment reviews. Most of these vehicles have been out on the market long enough that experts and amateurs alike have made helpful pros and cons lists. Researching some of these reviews can help you make an informed purchase that will have you walking off the lot with the perfect machine for your needs.
Why Buy New
Technology
If you’re looking for the latest technology, whether it’s in your vehicle’s included features or customizable gadgets, you’re going to want to buy a new model. Many of the newer more high-tech amenities on the market aren’t compatible with older models. Or, if you’re looking for the absolute best in suspension or engine technology, it’s better to go with a new model as they’re more likely to have the latest in mechanical upgrades.
Maintenance
If you’re unfamiliar with a vehicle’s upkeep or maintenance you might want to stay away from used models. These vehicles will require extra care and diligence due to previous wear and tear. If you can’t perform some of the more basic maintenance tasks yourself you’ll end up having to pay more in service fees over time.
