By Bruce Prince

A new jet ski is usually an expensive affair. You can get a second had jet-ski is but you will have to be very careful about how you do it, other wise it might turn out to be just as costly. You have to ensure that things are working well or you might end up spending much more than what you paid for. Here are some good tips on how to get a second hand jet ski which will be in a good condition and which you can use for a long time.

Surf the net and do some research in websites like eBay and Alibaba and also check your local classifieds and with dealers who deal with selling used jet skis online and find if there are any good deals. It is more likely that you find the right ones in the classifieds. Someone wants to move to place where there won't be any need for the Jet Ski.

Once you have found the right product, make an attempt to get in touch with the owner and arrange a meeting if possible and get all the information you require about the set from him. Find out if he used it exclusively and why he wants to do away with it. Also enquire if there are any defects to be set right and if any original part has been substituted. Also find out the year of manufacture and if he has been using it regularly.

From the looks of it you can get an idea of how much of wear and tear it has undergone. The next step is to find out about the state of affairs of the engine. The best alternative would be to get the Ski checked thoroughly by your mechanic.

If you are buying it from a private party, you won't be getting it with a warranty. Any repairs that are to be done must be paid from your pocket. So, one must be very careful in ensuring the working condition. Also check the trailer of the Jet Ski.

If the owner allows it take the Jet Ski for a test ride. I must admit that there is but one drawback in buying a used jet ski. You cannot always take it for a test drive before you purchase it unless you have a water body to drive it in.

Keep all of these things in mind while buying a jet ski and you can be sure that you will have enjoy using one while keeping the expenses down.
