How To Buy A Hot Dune Buggy.
It's time. You're new to the sport of dune buggy driving, but you've seen enough, it looks hot. Now it's time for you to get involved and buy that first dune buggy. But before you buy there's some things you need to consider.
The first thing is to decide if you're going to buy, or build. Now for most people that's not an issue. It takes a lot of time and money and skill to build a buggy, it's not something that you tackle lightly. And if it's your first buggy you might be better buying one and getting to know a little more. Don't build 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.
So the buggy you buy needs to be street legal. No reason to buy a buggy then find out that it's illegal to take it onto the road. And you won't need four wheel drive either, so rule that out. No need to spend money on something you'll never need.
How many people are you hoping to carry in your new buggy? Now of course you're unlikely to be taking the whole family shopping in it, but there are still plenty of people who want to take their girlfriend, say, on a great sand driving weekend. To do this you need to be able to seat the 2 of you. Or is it just you, in which case a single seater will be fine. And it is possible to buy buggies that take up to 4 people, though this is rare.
And what size buggy do you want? It wouldn't be the first time that someone bought a new buggy then found that it wouldn't fit in the available space in the garage, and had to be left out in the rain.
What size trailer do you have, or can you borrow? Because of course if you buy a buggy that's too big for your trailer you're in all sorts of trouble. Some buggies are street legal of course, so don't need a trailer if you can drive them to where you plan to play, but many need to be trailered.
And you need to find out more about dune buggy lingo. Like many sports there is a language all it's own and to fit in you need to learn it. What is a sandrail? What is a Baja Bug?
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 set aside some money. There are some great places where you can find cheap dune buggies for sale, but even so expect it to cost a bit. It's motorsport, and owning a dune buggy is no exception. - 21393
