Deciding Whether to Buy a New or Used Jet Ski
| There are many different styles of jet skis for sale, both new and used. Before buying a jet ski, it is important to consider what your needs are to make sure that the jet ski you buy will suit your purposes.
First of all, how often will you be using the jet ski? If you will only be using it a few times per summer while you are on vacation or on an occasional weekend, you will probably want to buy a used jet ski. For the amount of use you will get out of it, it doesn't make sense to spend the extra money for a new one. However, if you live on the beach and will be using your jet ski almost daily, you might want to buy new. When you buy a new jet ski, you know that it hasn't been abused by a previous owner and can probably get a warranty to cover anything that goes wrong with it for the first year or two that you own it. New jet skis, like new cars, tend to depreciate quickly. You can often find a used jet ski that has not been heavily used for a good deal less than you would pay for a new one if you are willing to take the time to look for a bargain. |
