buying a used snowmobile?
Posted on Jan 22, 2010 under snowmobile dealers |im looking to buy a used snowmobile from a dealer nearby and i saw a nice ski-doo 2008 renegade there that i thought was good but it has 4324 miles on it and they want it for 6,500$ is this a bad deal or is it ok because the sled doesnt have any damage to it. or should i look for a new snowmobile they are selling?
i would try to talk them down a little first and then buy it

Good Sled, though, to me, it seems a bit on the high side price wise. When buying a used snowmobile,you must consider several factors… One is the milage… And, you have stated the miles on the perspective sled, you are considering. This isn’t way high, but, still high enough, for the price, in my book. Next thing to condider, is the over all condition of the sled… Again, you have stated, that there is no damage to it. So, It should be in good shape. Next thing to consider, would be a test ride/drive of the snowmobile, if they will allow you to do so… this way, you’ll get a idea, as to how everything works, or doesn’t work, in some cases. Also, you’ll be able to see how it performes, as well. Taking the sled for a test ride/drive, will give you a general idea about the sled, in every aspect. If they will not allow you to take it on a test ride/drive, then, go somwhere else to look for a sled. By not letting you take the sled for a test ride/drive, this generally means that they are trying to cover some aspect of the sled, that they don’t want a perspective customer knowing about. Honesty should be the best policy, no matter what. So, if you are serious about the sled, ask if it can be taken on a test ride/drive, so you can see what is what, and, if there are any problems. As to looking for a new sled, you can always keep this in mind, if your used sled idea fails at some point. And also… If you try out the used sled, and it meets with your approval, ask them if that is the best price on the sled… They should be able to come down, some. Espically, if you show them cash money. The price should come down some, then.
