looking for a used ATV

I am thinking about buying a used ATV , would you guys buy from a dealer or private owner. I would be a newbie

Ditto makes a great point. I also searched for a left-over new ATV, when I bought mine. My opinion, stay away from machines used with a plow, no added performance parts (maybe an exception is exhaust), make sure all instruments work properly, lights work. Test drive! !! Big Mac

Depends on price, miles and if the dealer offers any warranty. Regardless I would want to test drive a used ATV and look it over real good as some people are REALLY tough on their ATVs. I bought mine brand new from a dealer but it was a two year old model still on the floor, I was able to negotiate them down to basically the used price for that year and still got the warranty and dealer service.
