your homework. There are
two ways to purchase a
used elliptical machine.
The first is to purchase it
from a dealer, fitness
center, or a fitness service
company. This is probably
the best way to ensure that
you will get an elliptical
trainer that is in good
working order. Many times
gyms and fitness centers
will change equipment
brands or the will upgrade
their equipment. The new
dealer will then have used
elliptical trainers to sell at a
fairly good discount.
professional technicians and as such will generally be in better condition then
those purchased from an individual.
Top of the line elliptical trainers should be considered first when looking at used
equipment. You will need to look at the new out of the box pricing of the unit you
are considering to make a good used pricing judgment. Only consider elliptical
trainers that have a new initial cost of at least $1200.00 to be assured of good
quality. You should also look carefully at the elliptical trainer information that is
found on the Internet to ascertain each models durability and track record. If
possible determine what fitness center the used equipment came from. Then
Used elliptical trainers normally do not qualify for any factory warranty. However
in some cases the factory or extended warranty may still apply to the elliptical
machine you are considering. In addition the dealer may also have the ability to
give you warranty protection through his business. These shop warranties are
usually good only for a short period like 90 days and all work will be preformed in
their shop facilities. You may have to pay a little more for the coverage. Most
likely you will have to be persistent to get the dealer to provide a warranty. We
always have a standard recommendation that you always purchase a warranty
when purchasing any piece of fitness equipment.
A second option to acquiring a used elliptical trainer is to purchase it from any
individual. This is the most risky way of getting an elliptical machine. You only
have the word of the owner as to its condition and any possible problems that
may plague the elliptical trainer. You also will not be able to receive and
warranty coverage. It is basically cavet emptor, let the buyer beware. In this case
you can mitigate some of the risk by giving the machine a good try out prior to
purchase. This of course should be done on any piece of fitness equipment
used or new. You will most likely be able to purchase a used elliptical trainer
from a private owner at a much lower price then you would get from a dealer or
fitness center.
