First, decide whether you want to purchase from an independent seller or a dealership. While independent sellers might have unique options, a dealership is more likely to ensure your vehicle is in good condition before you buy. If you do go independent, there are a few things you should check on before finalizing your purchase.

Your powersports vehicle isn’t too powerful without an engine. Always make sure the engine is in good shape before you finalize a purchase. Check for oil leaks from the valve cover and head gaskets by wiping a clean rag over these areas. If it stays clean, you’re clear, but if it gets oily, you might be facing expensive repairs. 

Being able to stop is arguably more important than zooming around. Check the brake pads before you buy to ensure they’re thick enough. A test drive might be enough to check, though. If there’s squealing, vibrations, or shaking when braking, the brake pads may need replacing.
