Utility Terrain Vehicle

A UTV is a utility terrain vehicle and having one can come in very handy.

But since of most of us have never owned one, there are some things to keep in mind when you are looking to make a purchase.

As with purchasing a car or a motorcycle, the first decision you need to make is whether you are going to buy a new UTV or a used

one.

Of course, there are pros and cons to both.

There Are Many Utility Terrain Vehicle Brands To Choose From

There are many UTV brands on the market to choose from.

Some of these brands are well known, such as Polaris, Kawasaki or Yamaha.

There are other brands on the market that most of us have never heard of.

Regardless of the brand that you have an interest in, I recommend that you do some

research on the Internet as a first step in you purchase process.

Look at the specifications of different models, look at the price of each model and or course look at reviews to see what those

who have purchased a particular model before you think of that particular utility

terrain vehicle.

When you buy a new unit from a dealership you have the comfort of dealing with an

established and trusted seller.

Your UTV will come with a warranty.

It will also come with a higher price tag.

Buying A Utility Terrain Vehicle From An Individual Seller

If you are planning on buying a used UTV from an individual seller, you will need to be

more cautious.

The first question that I would ask the seller is, "Why are you selling?" Just sit back and

listen for any clues that may give you reason to be weary of that seller.

Not all sellers of used UTV's are going to be honest about why they are selling or honest

about the history or condition of the UTV itself.

So be on guard.

If you are comfortable with the seller and their response to your question about why they are selling, the next thing that I would ask them for are the maintenance records.

If the current owner has taken the UTV to a dealer for service then the records will most likely be complete and you can feel confident the work done on it was done so by a trained

professional.

If the seller says that they have done the service on the UTV themselves, then ask them what it is

that they have done: the frequency of oil changes, the brands of products used to help in

making the repairs and if they had a service schedule that they had personally maintained.

Look at the unit and check for damage such as a bent frame or any rust that has

accumulated.

If everything looks good up to this point then take it for a test ride.

If that goes well, you may just find yourself being the new owner of utility terrain vehicle

of your very own.
