Another reason for wanting to buy used is she dosnt want to buy brand new incase riding isnt her thing. Shes been riding with me this whole season, and loves it. She thinks its time to learn on her own, but worries she wont stick with it. A used 250 will get almost 100% of your investment back if sold quickly after purchasing it where as a new 250 would decrease quite a bit in value the day she bought it.
Shes still considering all options, and i told her i would look around. Craiglist seems beat of almost all 250’s (i know, its kinda late to be buying). I’ll keep looking.
