Used Treadmills For Sale

Great Deals To Be Found on Used Treadmills For Sale

When it comes to buying a treadmill it is safe to live by one philosophy: You can pay now or you can pay later. While we are fortunate to live in a time where technology has done a lot to close the gap between consumer and commercial grade treadmills, it is no secret that the more you pay the better the quality of the machine. The truth is not every one has the means to shell out $2500 dollars and above for a gym quality treadmill. And while this may not be an option, spending $899 dollars on a new bottom end consumer grade tread mill, will likely mean in less than a year’s time you will be losing your investment.

Fortunately there is a middle grand that doesn’t compromise quality and value, and that is in the search for a used treadmill for sale. This provides the running enthusiast with the opportunity to own a treadmill with all of the creature comforts they desire as well as the durability of a well crafted piece of exercise equipment. Many top quality treadmills can be found refurbished directly from the factory with a warranty that matches or exceeds that of lesser brands. It’s a matter of brand pride that these companies can restore a treadmill to factory new condition with little effort, because the mechanical fundamentals of the machine are already superior.

So when looking for used treadmills for sale you’ll want to consider a few things:

1.  Is there a warranty and if so how long?
Companies like Precor, Landice and Smooth typically offer up to a year of parts and and 6 months on labor. The frame is usually covered for the life of the treadmill and there is no doubt as to why as they are built like BMW’s/

2.  Who refurbished the Treadmill?
While there are manufacturer endorsed companies who perform the task of rebuilding some of these treadmills, I personally suggest searching for one that has actually been refurbished in a manufacturer’s facility.

If you apply just those two criteria when searching you can often find the deal of a lifetime and pick up quality treadmills for cheap. So if you’re wondering where to look for the best prices on used treadmills we can offer a couple of suggestions. Firstly don’t miss an opportunity to buy treadmill online. We like to actually go into a local store and test out the treadmills we’re interested in for comfort and features, then find it used online.

It is easy to find agreeable terms that will encompass shipping and even returns that will be far cheaper than new. How cheap? We picked up a Landice for a little under $900 including shipping that was actually a floor model from a dealer half way across the country! If you’re still uncomfortable with the idea of purchasing on line, then you next my check out your local pro fitness store. Often time you can find slightly used treadmills for sale on the floor that were floor demos. These will come with the full manufacturer warranty and have so little use; they might as well be new. You can also try locally thru the classifieds ads. I wouldn’t suggest this method unless you can acquire service records and date of purchase. Even though we’re purchasing used this will undoubtedly be a lasting purchase. Lastly you can try EBay the world’s biggest online marketplace. Many companies such as Smooth do their used treadmill sales there, as well as sporting good stores looking to get rid of old stock.

There you have it you guide to finding a used treadmill for sale and we hope you’ll take this information and run with it!
