subject: Rhino Buyer's Guide: What You Should Know Before You Buy [print this page] Rhinos are becoming more available in more places. They're typically bigger than golf carts and ride well in off-road situations. This article will provide you with information that can help you have a great Rhino buying experience from start to finish. Whether you're advanced or just beginning to drive one, the following will be beneficial to you.
A rhino is a new type of off-road vehicle that is basically a big, sturdy version of a golf cart. Remember those days where you could just zip around town in a golf cart? Well, you can do the same thing in a Rhino! Rhinos are bigger, faster and stronger so they can withstand a heavier load and take a bit of a beating in off-road settings.
Once you decide on buying a Rhino, it's time to contact the Rhino dealer. If you need help finding a Rhino dealer, you should be able to do a simple internet search for "Rhino dealers" and get thousands of results. When you're looking for a dealer, make sure it's close to a place you can actually take it for a test drive. This will give you the opportunity to see if the Rhino is a good fit for you. That way, you don't buy the wrong thing, saving you a ton of money.
After you've found a dealer, ask them about the types of Rhinos they sell and what their prices and features are. Be prepared! Rhinos aren't cheap. Also, if you don't have a way to transport your Rhino, like a toy hauler, you may want to think about purchasing one of those at the dealership as well.
Now, choosing your Rhino when you're actually at the dealer is a different story! Chances are, you're probably going to be riding around for quite awhile and you want to make sure it's in good condition and something you'll be able to haul all of your people and your stuff around. It's easy to find out what you like and don't like when you're on a test drive.
Here's a quick checklist that will help:
- Is the Rhino big enough to carry everyone and all of your possessions?
- Do the brakes work correctly? They should operate smoothly and not stick.
- Do the tires have enough tread on them?
- Check all head lights, tail lights, the engine shut off switch and key switch.
- Is the Rhino suitable for the type of terrain you'll be riding on? Ask the shop owner - they should know!
Once you pick out your Rhino, you're almost ready to buy. One last thing! Before you sign the contract, read the fine print and ask for details about returns, warranty and default clauses.
There shouldn't be any surprises when you get home and use it for a couple of months. And remember, always practice safe driving habits!
