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!

many charges in them. If you don't get a new battery you are getting a stick of dynamite with 1/2 a fuse.

Yeah, you could get a good deal on a used one, but when it needs a new battery pack...

Thought it might be an interesting purchase as a daily driver/commuter car.

when it dies…assuming you get a few years out of it.
But yeah, batteries ain’t cheap.
Right now the hybrid battery for my new truck is around $10,000 to replace. Hopefully but the time it needs to be replaced, there will be cheaper options.
