In addition, visit the salons that sell cars with mileage, car markets. If necessary, arrange a meeting, on which you could carefully inspect the equipment.

When inspecting your favorite snowmobile,attention to its appearance: how the seat looks, the casing, the windshield, etc. Talk to the owner: ask him about the mileage, the condition of the car, whether she got into an accident. Find out if there were any problems with the operation, ask about the behavior of this particular vehicle, etc. Give preference to the snowmobile in the original configuration and be wary of the one that was "improved" by the previous owner, as this may lead to problems in the future.

Carefully inspect the caterpillars. Pay attention to their edges: not worn out edges, do not stick out of it pieces of rubber, cord threads. In the case of a studded caterpillar, check to see if the spike has struck it and what the overall condition of the spikes is.
