As much as we would all like to buy brand new vehicles, sometimes it just isn’t feasible and so our only option to buy second-hand. There are times when we find a good bargain and then there are times when people find to have purchased a lemon.
Buying used from a reputable dealership like Ace Scooters means that the scooter has been checked over in the workshop and test ridden by a workshop member to ensure a safe ride. The scooter must be safe, sound, reliable and licensed before we would consider selling it to a customer. There is also a warranty aspect: Below a certain mileage and age and above an amount of $3500 (as per year 2016), a dealership has to provide Statutory Warranty on a vehicle.
There is always a risk in buying second-hand machines as you never know its history and how it has been treated during its previous life. Buying a new machine sees you ride away on a scooter that nobody else has owned, you begin the history. Warranty is full, rego current and as perfect as you would expect. No mysteries…it’s all clean and new.
