As there are more pre-owned mobility scooters flooding the market now, and as people seek a cheaper alternative to buying a brand new mobility scooter, the sale of secondhand mobility scooters is increasing.

What are the important things you should consider if you are thinking of buying a used or pre-owned mobility scooter?

Yes, you can save money by buying a reconditioned mobility scooter, but this could end up costing you money in the long-run. The following points highlight some things you should take into account when purchasing a pre-owned mobility scooter:
- If you buy a reconditioned mobility scooter from a reputable mobility scooter manufacturer such as Pride you will be assured of a pre-owned model that has been fully factory reconditioned and comes with a warranty.
- This means you will still get after-sales support, even though you have not bought a brand new model.
- If you purchase a used mobility scooter from a private seller, you will buy it “as is” and as scooters do not come with a service history, you will have no assurances as to exactly how well-maintained the scooter has been. People are quite often re-selling an unneeded mobility scooter on Craig’s List or Ebay now, and you may get a good deal, just be wary!
- Although the price of a used mobility scooter sold privately may seem cheap compared to the cost of a new or reconditioned scooter, this can be a false economy, as it may not be worth much if it has not been properly serviced.

You need to fully weight up the pros and cons of the mobility scooter model you are considering, how important the purchase price is, how significant it is to have some guarantees of after-sales service and warranty coverage, and how long you expect to need your scooter and how much use it will get.
