If you are looking to buy a mountain bike (MTB) and have been doing some research, you know that good bikes are not cheap. If you want to get the best mountain bike for your money, why not consider buying a used one? For the price of a new MTB from Wal-Mart or Target, you can get a quality, used one with names such as Trek, Specialized, Jamis, Gary Fisher, Cannondale, Marin, GT or Kona.
Why buy used MTB?
Buying a used MTB can be a very good investment. Depending on the brand and the condition, you only pay a fraction of the original price. Like cars and other consumer goods, MTBs depreciate in value the moment they leave the store. In the case of bikes, their value can go down as much as 50%. When you buy used, you’re not paying the usual additional costs (overhead costs) associated with a new bike being sold by a store. But the wonderful thing about buying used MTBs is that, again depending on the bike and its condition, the depreciation slows tremendously and you may be able to sell it for the same price you bought it for, even after using it for a few years.
Where to buy used MTBs?
It’s easy to find used MTBs for sale. There is a very active market for buying and selling enter MTBs and parts, thanks to some people’s need to upgrade their rides every-so-often.
Ideally, you want to be able to inspect and test drive the bike before buying. The logical place would be your local bike shop (LBS). Chances are if the LBS has a rental business or buy back program, the LBS will have used bikes to sell. Some LBS also sell new and used bikes from their website and on eBay. Buying a mountain bike online or on eBay gives you more options, but is very risky for someone brand new to MTBs and don’t know how to buy a MTB online or off.
Another place to buy used MTBs locally is on Craigslist or similar sites. Craigslist presents other risks besides getting a lemon, so be careful when dealing with people you don’t know.
There are also MTB forums where members can post their mountain bikes for sale.
Buying a new MTB is difficult enough, and buying a used one requires even more patience and a bit more knowledge of what to look for. Gain some basic understanding of MTB and their part and you will be able to spot a great deal on a used mountain bike.
