What are some things you would never buy used?

I'm wanting to get a side-by-side to take to my hunt club to get around the property. I'm an overall cheap bastiage so I'm not really up to buying new, especially for something I'm going to use a couple dozen days a year. However I've bought big ticket items online before (riding mower) and been burned. So I'm a bit hesitant to really drop some money with someone I've known for a sum total of 10 minutes or at an auction where I have no idea what the real condition of the vehicle is. I'll probably end up trying to get one at a dealer used, couple of decent powersports shops around here. Anyway, just thought it would propose a good Loungeworthy question. Ready, set, DO YOUR BEST/WORST!

You can get some used Tesla's that retailed for $120k+ for $10k or less.

Recommend pricing a new battery pack with that purchase.**
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 04:18 PM ET
If you get it for less than 10K, I’d imagine you’d just sell it for scrap
