No matter the reason, if you are going to purchase an ATV there are some things you should remember. Depending on your purpose, budget, and needs, a used model might be fine or a new ATV from a dealership may be a better choice. No matter where you purchase your ATV, you should do plenty of research before you make a decision and be sure to get plenty of impartial advice. Never let a salesman in the showroom talk you into purchasing something you will regret. Make sure you have a good idea of what you want, and what you need, before you set foot in a showroom.
Your first consideration should be the age and size of the rider. If you are buying an ATV for a youth or small adult, you will want to go with a smaller model for the best riding comfort. An average sized adult should do fine with a larger model. If you are buying an ATV for someone else, it is best to take him or her along to make sure the ATV you pick is suited to their size, its better to make sure its right than to surprise them with an ATV that is too big or too small and not comfortable for them.
The second consideration when buying an ATV is your purpose. Do you need an ATV to help haul things around your property, to carry game in form the woods while hunting, or other work purposes? Are you planning to ride your ATV for fun or even try your hand at ATV racing? ATV’s vary in sizes, styles, and accessories so you will want to be sure you get one with all the features you need.
If you want an ATV for work purposes, you will want to get a strong heavy ATV that is suitable for hauling or carrying large loads. You can get ATV’s that have built in racks for carrying equipment or game and that come with a hitch to hook up a wagon or trailer. If you are purchasing an ATV for fun, you will probably not need all those features and would do well with a simpler model. If you are thinking about racing with your ATV, you will want to get one that is light, powerful, and designed for racing.
You should also get the proper tires for your ATV when you purchase it. If you are planning to ride in hilly, rough, and muddy terrain, you will want to get mud tires with deep tread that will help you to navigate this harsh terrain. If you are going to ride around flat ground or on trails, stock tires will suffice. If you will be racing, you should get specially designed racing tires as well.
You should also consider price and get an ATV that you can afford. You do not have to pay full price at a dealership, if you research what you need you can probably find it used in your area. If you want a warranty or service after the sale, you should consider buying from a dealership but always compare prices and know how much the model you want should cost.

If you have an ATV, you know how expensive the hobby can be. ATV’s can be very expensive and the parts and costs of maintenance can also be high. If you have to do emergency repairs of even replace a badly damaged ATV you may find yourself strapped for cash. The initial ATV purchase is also a major expense, especially if you buy new. It is possible to save money, keep to a budget, and enjoy ATV riding. You should still be prepared to invest money in your hobby but if you do some research, you can find good prices on ATV’s and ATV parts.

Most ATV retailers whether they are a local dealership or an online dealer, run sales periodically. You should do some independent research and decide which model and brand of ATV you want. Unless you get lucky, you may have to end up waiting a while for a sale but the price difference will be worth it. Always check to see what the regular price of the model you want to and compare dealerships both locally and online.

Once you know what the average non-sale price is of the ATV you want, all you have to do is wait for it to go on sale. Most ATV dealerships have sales twice a year or so, and as long as you are patient you can potentially save hundreds. You should avoid going to a dealer before you know what price to expect because it is easy to be talked into buying an ATV because a sales person says that they have the best price. Always do you own research to find out what the best price really is.

Most ATV owners spend money every year replacing or adding parts to their ATV’s. This can get costly if you pay retail every time you replace something. Just like ATV’s, ATV parts will go on sale periodically so the trick to saving when you buy parts is to wait until their on sale and know what the best price you can expect is through research. This may not seem practical as you never know when something will break and will not want to wait months to fix it.

The solution to this dilemma is to buy parts that you know you will eventually need when they are on sale, even if you do not need them at the time. You will save money in the long run if you have a replacement part you need that you bought at a discount. Supplies for regular ATV maintenance can also be costly over time so you should grab them when they are on sale and save yourself money.

Many people, especially if they have a new ATV, have not considered buying used ATV parts. If you need to replace something on your ATV, most of the time a used part will work just a well as a new one and will save you money. Just because a part is used or refurbished does not necessarily mean that it is of inferior quality. Most of the time a used part will work just as well as a new one and you will pay a fraction of the price.
