Used UTVs and Side by Sides For Sale near St. Louis, MO

Buying a Used UTV or Side by Side

There are many great reasons to consider buying a used UTV, one reason is for the incredible savings even if the side by side is hardly used. The moment a new model is driven off the dealer’s lot, it begins to lose value. You can skip the depreciation by choosing a lightly used side by side for a much lower price. Holzhauer Pro Motorsports has created this helpful guide to ensure you choose the perfect used UTV for your lifestyle. When you’re ready to shop, visit our dealership in Nashville, IL. We proudly serve St. Louis, MO, and Evansville, IN with our selection of used UTVs for sale!
 

Choosing the Right Model

The first thing you’ll want to do is think about your needs. Are you investing in a side by side to haul equipment and supplies? Do you need a UTV with four-wheel drive so you can plow through rough terrain with ease? Do you plan to take your vehicle with you on hunting trips? All of these questions will help you determine what type of SxS you should be looking for. You’ll want to search for features that’ll match your intended purpose.

Next, you should think about your wants. You may not find an option that offers all of them, but you can usually find most of them. Do you prefer an enclosed cab for better riding comfort or a windshield that’ll offer protection against mud and debris? Maybe you need some extra storage space that a cargo box provides. If you’d like assistance navigation without having to use your cell phone, consider investing in a GPS.

It’ll be much easier to find the right UTV when you know what you want from it. Make sure you have a clear idea of what you expect from this purchase before you venture into a dealership. Otherwise, you could easily end up being persuaded into an option that doesn’t meet your needs.
 

What to Know Before You Buy

Once you’ve found a few UTV models you’re interested in, you should thoroughly inspect them. You’ll want to look for signs of dings, rust, or other damage. Check all the lights and controls to confirm they’re functioning properly. Be careful that you don’t end up buying a side by side that’s in need of expensive repairs that’ll defeat the purpose of buying used.

After you’ve conducted an inspection and you feel comfortable with the condition of the SXS, you should take it for a test drive. You should steer clear of UTVs that struggle to start. Be sure to look for abnormal billows of smoke out of the exhaust pipe once the engine is running. Do you notice the machine veering to one side when you’re steering? All of these are signs of underlying issues that you'll want to address with our service staff.
