People who are looking after a motorcycle for themselves or their loved ones often think about the possibility of saving money on the purchase. Especially if the cost of the vehicle exceeds the mark of several hundred thousand rubles.
If you want to take a new motorcycle (no matter what brand), then it is better to contact the salons of official dealers. So you will buy a high-quality motorcycle, recently released from the assembly line, with warranty repairs and a full package of documents. Of course, the price of a motorcycle in such salons will include an extra charge of 10–20% of the actual cost of the equipment, but it is worth overpaying this amount.
Features of buying cheap motorcycles from private sellers
Buying any motorcycle from a private seller can be partly compared to a pig in a poke - few of the owners will tell you about the true state of technology. Also recently, motorcycles that had been stolen earlier have often begun to be sold. If it turns out that you have acquired a vehicle in theft, you can say goodbye to your money and a brand new motorcycle, as well as get ready for a long trial. That is why you should not immediately make a sale and purchase transaction if you saw the motorcycle of your dreams at the lowest price in the newspaper ads.
When buying a motorcycle from a private owner, be sure to ask to see the full package of documents. If the seller begins to refer to the lack of documents, picking up any reliable reasons, do not purchase such equipment. The seller can also paint the motorcycle, decorate it with decals from well-known brands and hang plastic, which will prevent you from identifying the real model and manufacturer. Carefully study your favorite motorcycle models on the Internet, memorizing design features.
Exotic ways to buy motorcycles inexpensively
There is another option for buying an inexpensive motorcycle - purchasing equipment at popular foreign auctions or specialized sites. Some foreign owners are willing to give their motorcycle for almost nothing if you pay for transportation. This way of buying is quite risky, as you will have to make an advance payment of 30 to 50% of the total cost of the vehicle. You will also have to place bets, determining the total cost of the motorcycle with other applicants.
If you buy a motorcycle at an auction abroad, you should always consider the possibility of the owner uploading inaccurate photos and the high costs of transporting equipment. Usually, if you count, it turns out the same amount as you will be asked to pay in motorcycle and equipment stores.
