Can you save some money by buying pre-owned or used mobility scooters? or should you stick with new? Here are some things to consider.
Buying New Mobility Scooters
As with most new purchases, a new mobility scooter comes with a guarantee. So, if something goes wrong, you won’t have to worry about paying extra for any potential problems with your scooter.
Buying a new scooter also means options—lots of options (including colours). If you have decided to purchase a new model, there are all kinds available. You can choose one that suits your lifestyle, from lightweight, portable choices to powerful, luxury models.
Another benefit of buying new is the ROI. Are you thinking about upgrading your mobility scooter? Believe it or not, you can recoup a big chunk of your investment by selling your mobility scooter – to a store such as Comfort Plus Mobility, or independently. People are always on the lookout for mobility scooters.
Buying Used/Pre-Owned Mobility Scooters
This is a great option for those of you looking to cut costs on a mobility scooter. Purchasing a used/pre-owned scooter can save you up to half the original asking price of a new one—sometimes even more depending on the age and the condition of the model. That said, many pre-owned scooters won’t have the same level of warranty (or any at all) when compared to a new model.
The key to getting a quality used scooter is to ensure it has been well-maintained and delivers a safe, comfortable ride. Before you put down your money, take the mobility scooter out for a test drive. Check to see if the brakes, accelerator, and lights are working properly. Ask about the range and when the batteries were last replaced – if possible, test the batteries.
If youcan, have the model looked over by a mobility scooter specialist. They will be able to accurately determine the condition of the model to have you make a better-informed purchasing decision.
Bottom line? When it comes to buying a new vs. pre-owned mobility scooter, it will all depend on you and your expectations. Ultimately, your first step should be consulting with a professional mobility scooter business. They have the experience and know-how to help you pick the right scooter for your needs—and your budget.
