If you’re buying a new ATV or SxS, you will want to know what exactly is covered by any warranty before you buy it. Take everything into account when it comes to cost before you buy and you’ll find ownership to be more enjoyable. Also factor in the cost of maintenance, like regular oil changes. Then there is insurance, which is often very different from car insurance, too. The rates and terms can be different depending upon where you go. Just keep in mind that ATV and SxS interest rates are not going to usually be the same as those for a car or truck, as banks see them as toys, for the most part, and on par with campers and boats. This is not a big deal and is fairly common. Unless you’ve been saving your pennies, most likely you will be looking at financing a machine. It’s the rest of it that you really need to know before you go buying one. Knowing how much a machine will cost is the easy part.

Not only do the dealerships, or sellers list the price for you, the manufacturers all list the MSRP for each machine on their websites. We might as well start out with the 500-pound gorilla in the room - how much does it cost to buy an ATV or a SxS, really? We can all rather easily find out the price of a machine. But not every machine can do that, so have a reasonable conversation with yourself about what you really want your new ATV or SxS to do before you buy. For example, the Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000 can conquer most any terrain, move right along at a pretty fast pace and still find ways to help you get some jobs done around your property. Sport machines that go fast look really cool and sound great, but is that what you really want? Is that trail machine going to meet your need for speed? Can you get things done around your property like you want? There are some really great machines out there that can handle a wide range of activities.

It all centers around being completely honest with yourself when it comes to what you really want.

It would seem like an easy thing to know - What type of ATV or SxS do you want to buy? This is a question that can be a bit tricky.
