How To Buy A Hot Dune Buggy.
So you’ve decided to buy a dune buggy. You have had a dune buggy before, you’re new to the sport, and it looks great. It’s time to get involved and buy yourself a dune buggy. But before you get out there and buy there’s a few things you need to consider.
The first is to decide if you should build or buy a dune buggy. Now for many that’s just not an issue. Building a dune buggy is a long process that requires skills, and lots and lots of time. And you don’t take it on lightly. Dune buggies are like any other vehicle, if you decide to build one you really need to know what you’re doing. Don’t try to build your own buggy unless you’re confident.
So it sounds like you’re not building one now, you’re buying. But although there are a lot of dune buggies for sale not all of them are what you want. Here’s a few things to look out for as a first time dune buggy buyer.
Firstly decide what your needs are. Where are you going to drive your buggy and what do you want it to do? For example there are many who just want a hot buggy to cruise the streets. That’s fine, but if you you’ve got different needs to someone who wants to do some serious sand driving.
For example it needs to be street legal. No point in buying a buggy and finding out that you can’t take it on the road. And there’s really no point in buying a buggy with great four wheel drive for instance, if it doesn’t need 4wd to cruise the streets. You’re just spending money on something that you don’t need.
How many people will need to fit into your buggy? Now it’s unlikely you’ll be carrying four in it, but some do and you can get a four seater dune buggy. But perhaps you’d like to take your girlfriend for some fun in the dunes. If so you don’t want a single seat buggy.
What size do you want? This relates to what you want to do with your buggy, but there’s some other factors involved too. How much storage space do you have? It wouldn’t be the first time someone bought a buggy then found they couldn’t fit it into the garage.
And have you got a trailer? If not then you have to buy one but if you already have a trailer then the buggy you buy has to fit, or else you have to buy another trailer.
Find out some more about different motors and build options that you have. Learn the terminology so that when you talk buggies with the more experience people you fit in. For example what is a sandrail? Do you know the different types of frames? What is a Baja Bug? There is dune buggy lingo, you need to learn it.
And if you don’t know it now you’re going to need to get started on learning the basics of mechanics. You don’t have to be an expert but if you’re into dune buggies you’re going to be working on motors, so start learning. It’s fun and it’s a part of the sport.
This may all sound a little simplistic to the experienced dune buggy owner, but for someone looking to buy their first dune buggy that’s the basics. Do your homework, establish your needs. Don’t build unless you’re confident in your skills and buy, but only once you know exactly what you need.
And of course start saving, you’ll need some money. There are some wonderful place where you can find cheap dune buggies for sale online, there’s plenty on my website, but it’s not a cheap sport. So start saving for your first dune buggy today.
