If the idea of having an ATV or side by side keeps running your thoughts and you think you want to get one so you can spend your spare time riding, there are a few things to think about before you invest your money. You don't want to go in and buy without thinking it through, and without having a plan. Knowing what size, what you want to spend and your budget is important. Do the following.

Rent Different Sizes

If there is an area where you can test drive the different sizes of side by side RVs, you want to get behind the wheel of the different sized options, to determine if you want a 2, 4, or even 6 passenger vehicle. Test drive to see what you feel comfortable with, and what ride you enjoy the most. You may not be able to make sharp turns or hit large jumps with the larger options.

Look at New and Used

At the dealership look at new and used options. If someone bought a machine and didn't use it as much as they thought, you may be able to get a used option at an affordable price. If you still have concerns about how often you will use the vehicle, or if you will use it enough to invest the money, a used option could be more practical. Comparing your choices of UTV side by side for sale can greatly improve your choices.

Talk with the dealership about new purchase incentives, to see if there are any specials on purchasing a new model. This could be anything from service package to accessory add ins with the purchase.

Determine Hauling Needs

Unless you will be riding it around your yard or storing it in one location, consider your hauling needs. If you will be needing a trailer, you may want to get financing for both the side by side and the trailer to haul it with. Talk with the finance professional you are using to see if this is possible.

The areas where you will be riding and driving the SUVs is important when considering what type of side by side you want, along with the tires. Take the time to shop different models and options, so you are investing in a side by side that you can get the most use out of, and that you will enjoy. The sooner you pick what is right for you the sooner you can start having fun riding.
