Used UTVs For Sale in Northwest Iowa

Why You Should Consider Buying a Used Side-by-Side!

A major benefit of choosing a used side-by-side is that you can save a ton of money on your purchase! By buying used you won't be faced with as much depreciation and you'll get a vehicle that is more closely priced to what it is worth. At most of our dealerships, you'll be able to find gently used UTVs from recent years at prices that will be drastically lower than the latest models. Below, we've created a guide to finding the perfect used UTV to fit your lifestyle and budget. Read on, or stop by one of our K.C. Nielsen dealerships serving Humboldt, Fort Dodge, Ames, and Northwest Iowa.

How To Pick Your Next UTV Model

The most important thing you'll want to consider when choosing your next UTV is what tasks and projects you want to get done. If you are looking to haul supplies and equipment, or tow trailers, you'll need a more utility-based model. If instead you are looking for four-wheel drive and tearing up the backroads, you'll want one of the more sporty models. A side-by-side is one of the most versatile vehicles on the market, so you'll be able to handle just about any task with varying success, but if you have a specific focus there are definitely models that will suit your operation better. Ask our staff and come prepared with a list of projects you'd like to knock out to get the most use out of your UTV! 

The next step after deciding what projects you need your side-by-side for is to study and learn what features each model has to offer. The more you know about UTVs in general, the easier it will be for you to find the right model for your farm. It's essential to get a clear picture of what you need out of this purchase before wandering onto the lot. The last thing you want is to end up with a vehicle that can't handle everything you throw at it or something that isn't going to be able to haul the amounts you need. Knowing what you are buying is essential, so don't hesitate to ask our staff some detailed questions if you have them!

Before You Buy

Once you've found a model or two that you think will fit your needs, you'll want to do a thorough inspection to check for rust, dings, or other damage. Also do checks for things like lights, controls, and brakes to make sure that all the interior parts are running well. You'll want to avoid buying a vehicle that is already in need of repairs unless those repairs are factored into the price. 

Once you've completed a visual inspection you'll want to fire up your used UTV to take it for a test drive. Some machines look fine, but you may notice things break down once you've ridden around a little. Make sure that the vehicle fires up right away and that there are no issues with controls or steering.
