USED ATVS FOR SALE IN PERRIS, CALIFORNIA

Buyers Guide to Used ATVs

Getting a used ATV allows you to buy the powersports vehicle you want, but without spending a fortune. Use depreciation in your favor to knock hundreds, or even thousands, off of the asking price. But you'll need to do your research to ensure you get a good deal - and don't end up with a rig that'll cost you a large amount in surprise repairs. Below we offer tips for finding the right model. When you are ready to shop used ATVs for sale, head over to Langston Motorsports. Our dealership is located in Perris, California. We also serve those in Temecula, California.

Ask for the ATV's History

The better you know the ATV's history, the better you can predict its performance in the future. Ask the powersports dealership for a copy of the four-wheelers maintenance records. See if you notice any red flags, such as past crashes or repeat maintenance issues that could cause you problems down the road. You'll also want to get the vehicle's PIN so you can do your own research.

Inspect the 4-Wheeler

Used powersports vehicles may appear fine on the outside, but be riddled with issues underneath the surface. That's why conducting a thorough inspection is an important step to avoid buying a lemon. You may even want to hire a professional inspector since they can catch issues the average buyer might miss. 

You will want to inspect every part of the used ATV. Signs of damage, such as rust or dents, are red flags that are a cause for concern. Test that all the lights and controls work. Check the tire tread and oil quality. If the past owners let these simple maintenance tasks slide, odds are there are other serious maintenance tasks they neglected. Be cautious about buying a vehicle with issues unless those issues are low-cost to fix.

Go for a Test Ride

Finally, take the used ATV out for a test ride. Make sure it starts up without issue and does not veer to one side as you steer. You'll also want to make sure it fits well for your needs. You should be able to comfortably reach the controls without stretching or straining. The power capacity should also be at your experience level and not too much or too little.
