Dune Buggy Basics 101. Find A Hot Dune Buggy For Sale
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 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.
First comes a consideration of your needs. What do you need your buggy to do? For example there are many who just use their buggy to cruise the streets, not that there’s anything wrong with that. But if so your needs will be quite different to someone who wants to get into the sand.
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 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.
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? It has to get on your trailer or else you have to buy another trailer, more expense. Some buggies don’t need a trailer, for example street legal buggies, but many need to be transported on a trailer.
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 you need to learn all about motors, because once you have your own buggy you’re going to be spending a lot of time with motors. You might know it already, but you’d be surprised at how many start in buggies with limited mechanical knowledge. You don’t need to be an expert but start learning the basics. It’s fun and part of being a buggy owner.
This may all sound a bit basic to the seasoned buggy drivers out there, but for the person just looking to get into the sport there are some basic questions to answer. Do your homework. And if you’re not prepared to build one you’ll need to find a great dune buggy for sale, and buy it, but only after you’ve sorted out exactly what it is you need.
And start saving for your first dune buggy today. Whilst it’s a relatively cheap form of motor sport it’s not entirely cheap. There are some great places to buy cheap dune buggies online, I have them on my website. But you need to get those dollars in the bank. Get started.
