Buying Privately:

This should always be cheaper than buying from a dealer but can carry certain risks. Always make sure to check for the service history and if the warranty is still valid. You have fewer legal rights if you buy privately.

Make sure the motorcycle / quad is as described. Always inspect the motorcycle and make sure its exactly what you looking for. Always have a look at the engin and frame of the motorcycle / quad for wear and tear as these parts will always reflect the condition of it. Make sure that the engin and frame number is valid and make sure that its legal.

Buying from a Dealer:

This is the safest way of buying but not the cheapest. Here you get maximum protection from the law. Its a good idea to choose your local dealer which is approved by major finance houses and which is fully registered and legal to trade with a spesific brand or make. A trade assosiation sign may mean that the firm follows a code of practise.

When buying a motorcycle / quad from a dealer it must be of satisfactory quality. It must always meet the standard that a person would regard as acceptable. Make sure to buy only from registered motorcycle dealers and beware of "grey imports" as parts, service and warranty will be a major problem when need be.
