Used UTVs For Sale in Ohio & Pennsylvania

Buying a Used Side-by-Side

If you’re in the market for a great family-friendly workhorse, you’ll want to check out utility terrain vehicles (UTVs or side-by-sides, as they’re also known). But those of you on a tighter budget may wish to save money wherever you can, which is where buying a used UTV can be of great benefit to you.

Bobcat of Pittsburgh/Erie/Indiana County is your Pennsylvania used UTV dealer. Here are some of our suggestions for how you can narrow down your options when it comes to choosing the perfect used side-by-side for your work or recreational riding needs.

Think About Your Needs

First, it’s helpful to consider what exactly your riding needs are and how a vehicle can meet them. Determine what it is you want a used side-by-side for. Are you in search of a family vehicle for off-roading fun on the weekends? Then you’ll want a more sport-oriented model. Seeking a rugged vehicle capable of helping with hard labor around the farm or construction site? Look for a more utility-focused side-by-side instead.

You should also think about other options, like whether you want a closed cab to protect you and your passengers from heat, cold and precipitation, or if you need a high towing capacity to haul a trailer behind you. Think also about the number of seats you may want: UTVs come with anywhere from two to six seats so you can choose a model that will hold everyone you need to bring along for the ride.

Perform an Inspection

When you’ve landed on a model of used UTV that you like, it’s imperative that you perform a thorough inspection of the vehicle from top to bottom. You don’t want an unscrupulous private seller to pawn off a lemon on you! This risk is why going to a dealer can be a better choice, since dealers are going to be up-front about the condition of any vehicle they sell.

Either way, you’ll want to make sure the engine starts up and doesn’t make strange noises, the tires appear to be in good shape, the oil is clean and the body of the vehicle isn’t seriously damaged. Ask for vehicle history information such as what maintenance tasks have been performed and what repairs have been made so that you know exactly what you’re getting.
