Buying a UTV
Buying a utility terrain vehicle can open the door to a life filled with fun and function. But choosing the right side-by-side isn’t always easy. That’s where Escondido Cycle Center comes in. We want to make the buying process easier for you, so we’ve created the following guide to help you choose the perfect model. When you’re ready to see some UTVs for sale, give us a call at our location in Escondido, California. We also proudly serve San Diego and Oceanside!
The Purpose
You should start by figuring out how you plan on using your UTV. When it comes to side-by-sides, there are generally two ways people use their machines.
Some people opt to use their UTV to accomplish work tasks. You can load up your rig with all of your tools and head to the work site. You can use the impressive towing and hauling capabilities to transport heavy equipment. If you plan on using your machine to get the job done, look for a model with high carrying capacity and plenty of storage.
Some people prefer to use their side-by-side for thrills and adrenaline. They want to blaze through backroads and dirt trails. There are also plenty of models that are designed for recreational use. If you want to use your UTV for play instead of work, you should choose a model with a high performance capacity that can hit high speeds with quick acceleration. You should also look for a model with comfort features like terrain-specific tires, a closed-in cab, and more.
The Budget
Next, you have to decide how much you can and are willing to spend on a UTV. It’s important to go into the process with a firm budget in mind so you don’t get talked into buying something out of your price range. A first time buyer should expect to spend around $10,000 while more advanced and powerful models cost between $15,000 and $20,000.
Passengers
Finally, it’s time to consider how many passengers you plan on taking with you on your side-by-side adventures. Most models fit at least two passengers, but some can fit up to six people! You’ll be able to find a model that has plenty of space for your crew or your family and friends.
We hope this guide helps you pick the perfect model for your needs and riding style. If you still have questions, reach out to our friendly staff at Escondido Cycle Center.
