Buying a high specification, second hand mobility scooter could cost you as much as buying a cheap, new one. The advantage is basically that you are getting a more expensive scooter at a great price. It is worth considering that a well-maintained scooter is possibly better than one that is new and untested, although if you are buying new then the reputation of the retailer you buy it from can also give you confidence as to the quality of the scooter that they recommend. There are various questions that you need to think about before buying any piece of mobility scooter, whether it is old or new:
Is it a necessity?
Why do I need one?
Can I enjoy life properly without one?
Yes, you may be able to enjoy your life without a scooter, but that may be limited due to lack of mobility. So the assumption is that it is a necessity, for the simple fact that it allows you to live a normal life-or something quite close to it.
So we know that second hand mobility
scooters are a worthy long term investment for the disabled and the elderly but it is usually advisable to go for a new one; similar to a car usually gives more mileage. Unfortunately not everyone can afford a brand new scooter and paying 750 pounds or more may seem a little too steep. Fortunately, many second hand scooters function just as well, and can last you quite a while. The kind of scooter you want to buy depends on its intended use. Whether it is for short trips to the convenient store and back, moving around your house and garden or longer trips around the neighbourhood.
The quality of used scooters vary significantly. You can have anything from slightly used to completely old, and everything in between. Second hand dealer's purchase used mobility scooters from various sources, so you will have a healthy variety to choose from. The trick is to know exactly what use you are intending to put the scooter too i.e how often do you intend to use it, what the kind of terrain do you intend to use it on and if you are planning to use a scooter indoors then does it have a small turning circle to enable you you manoeuvre it around. Another thing to consider is that different scooters fit different sizes. If you have a large frame, then the four-wheeler will suit you best, it has a larger frame-as opposed to one with three wheels, which is more useful in small spaces.
Buying a used mobility scooter from a retailer has its benefits, one being the fact that most retailers will give you a 6 month warranty on parts, and they are fitted with new batteries on delivery. Be on the look out for bargains, which come around every so often-you can always catch a deal when you go for used merchandise.
So what other advantages are there?
You get a high value product, with a cheaper price tag. Some second hand scooters are only slightly used, and still have some warranty period left. You get to save a lot of money, without compromising the standards on quality.
Second hand scooters also come readily equipped. Many of the previous owners add certain accessories to the scooters, and this saves you additional costs. You get a well equipped scooter, at a bargain!
The purchasing process is fairly simpler. You have to save for a long while to be able to afford a new scooter, then you have to buy the extras after that. A second hand scooter is usually just a simple pay-purchase process with all the add ons you are likely to need.
One other avenue for buying a used mobility scooter is to take a look at your local classifieds or even take a look at eBay where there are many second hand mobility scooters for sale every day. You will also find retailers selling their scooters on eBay so you get the best of both worlds with used and new scooters available on the same site. If you consider buying from a person as opposed to a retailer then as a tip make sure that you ask as many questions as you can think of the seller prior to auction ending so that you can ascertain as to whether the mobility scooter is good value or not. Don't be afraid of asking for more photographs or anything about its history as if the seller is keen to sell they will be happy to oblige.
Don't forget that if you buy a mobility scooter from eBay that you may have to pick it up yourself so try and ensure that the vendor that you engage in a transaction with is relatively local and that you have the means to make the pick up.
To summarise therefore buying a used mobility scooter has many of the issues that you have with buying a new one in that you have to ascertain the purpose for which it is required and then find the scooter that fits that purpose but there is one main advantage and generally speaking that is the price. You can buy a used mobility scooter from a retailer and get a nice discount with a warranty or you can go direct to a previous owner and then it is possible to pick up an almost new scooter at a significant discount to the retail price and you may have the added bonus of additional fixtures being added to it by the previous owner.
