1. Time Your Purchase Strategically
The sales you see will be dependent on the time of year. During the off-seasons, UTV dealerships see a decline in customers. They often offer extra specials as a way to entice people to buy. Buying your side-by-side in the off-seasons can be a great way to save money. Check the website of your local UTV dealership, such as Carson City Motorsports, every so often and see if they are any promotional sales. Once you spot a sale happening, you can head over to the dealership and buy your side-by-side.
2. Look for Discounted Pricing On High-End Brands
A high-end side-by-side may not normally fall within your budget. But the steep price discount found on clearance models and used models may suddenly make that high-end UTV fit your budget. Take advantage of this! Seek out high-end models among the sales selection to see if any are available.
You can even do some research on the best powersports brands and look for their models in the clearance inventory or used inventory. Quality UTVs will last for many years, so you can buy a used model and still enjoy plenty of adventures.
3. Make A List Of Features You Want
One potential downfall of shopping with the price tag as the priority is that it's easy to get distracted by the low price. Some people end up buying a model primarily because the sticker price is "too good to pass up"...only to later realize that the UTV doesn't quite fit their needs and wants. That's why it's important to know what you want before you start looking at models.
One helpful approach is to make a list of features that you want, such as rider comfort perks or the ability to carry passengers. When you articulate what you must have, it'll be easier to shop the sales and only look at models that fit your requirements. Don't pass up necessary features to save some extra cash. Instead, go into the search knowing what the side-by-side must offer before you'd purchase it. With a little research, you can find a UTV that suits your needs and comes at a great price point!
