WHERE TO BUY YOUR MOTORCYCLE, SCOOTER OR QUAD USED?

Advantage:

The price : It's a double-edged sword. The owner may place too high a value on his motorcycle. But as a general rule, the price is always lower than with a professional (car there are far fewer charges to pay).

The history: You better understand the style of the former owner, we generally notice it quite quickly. You can also learn a lot about the small peculiarities of the vehicle by talking a little.

The Negotiation: It is easier to lower prices by talking to an individual than with a professional.

Disadvantages:

Warranty : None! Even if the seller seems as honest as possible to you, remember that scammers have a particularly fertile imagination to imagine scams of all kinds.

The appeal: In addition to the absence of warranty and even in the event of a deliberately hidden defect, you will need to provide proof. Such procedures are long and energy-consuming. Know that you have the possibility to return to the seller for a period of two years, especially if you discover a hidden defect. The seller must also inform you if the motorcycle has been involved in an accident, specifying the repairs carried out.

The test: You will need the seller to trust you enough to let you try the vehicle.

The transaction : Sbraiding! Avoid liquid! You will definitely need a bank check.

Advantage:

Warranty : Except in exceptional cases, the machine will be guaranteed for a minimum of 3 months. Sufficient to notice a possible major defect or a hidden defect.

The test: Unlike the private individual, the professional will let you try the bike without any problem.

Mechanical condition: The professional will not let go of a motorcycle in poor mechanical condition, which could present risks for its user. He has in his possession all the means to control the machine before the sale. The bike will have undergone all checks and will be completely overhauled.

Support for administrative aspects: It is quite possible that the professional (especially if he is a dealer) takes care of all the procedures.

The choice : The dealer usually offers several models of used motorcycles. This allows you to compare and try.

The transaction : Much less stressful! Scams are logically much rarer among professionals than among individuals.

Disadvantages:

The price : All the services and advantages offered by the professional have a price. For an identical model, the motorcycle will generally be between 10 and 15% more expensive from a professional.

History: The professional knows less well the history of the machine. However he knows the problems encounteredar users with the model. Remember to consult the mechanics, who are more objective than the sellers.
