Low Price Treadmills - Where and How to Find Low Priced Treadmills
By Vienna Miller
Looking for low price treadmills? In this tough economic market, many people want to get a high quality motorized treadmill for less.
Unfortunately, in many places, treadmill prices are rising (stores are feeling the pinch too). But there are still ways you can save money and get a quality treadmill for less.
This article will list 3 ways to find a low priced treadmill. Please note that I don't recommend that you buy a low quality treadmill.
Because a treadmill with cheap construction, design and cushioning can end up costing you in the long run in repairs, time and injured hips, knees and joints. However if you're looking to save money and still get a high value machine, here are the top 3 ways to get a low price treadmill:
#1 Buy Direct From the Manufacturer
Some treadmill manufacturers sell their treadmills directly to the consumer and skip the store middleman. You save on store markup and deal directly with the manufacturer. Buying direct can save you up to 45% as manufacturers usually have the lowest prices on their own treadmills.
Here's another advantage to buying direct. If, on the very slim chance, that something should go wrong with your treadmill - it's easier to deal directly with the manufacturer to get the problem fixed.
In some cases they can actually do more for you than if you'd bought that same treadmill through the store.
#2 Buy Online
Even if you don't buy direct from the manufacturer, there are some treadmill stores online where you can get discounts off store prices. (They don't have to pay for maintaining a storefront, salaries etc. so they can afford to drop prices on their machines).
If you time it right, many online stores will also give you free shipping (which can normally cost up to $200). You can also save on sales tax in many cases.
#3 Buy A Used Treadmill
You can often get a used treadmill for about half the price as you'd find in the store. Many commercial grade treadmills are refurbished/rebuilt and then resold to the home consumer for half the list price.
You can also find discount treadmills in your local newspaper or classifieds. Moving sales are also a great place to look as the owners probably don't want to drag a heavy treadmill to their next house.
There are several hazards to buying a used treadmill that most buyers are not aware of however. For example, most treadmill manufacturers will not honor the warranty for a second owner. So if the treadmill breaks the day after you get it home, you're out the money to fix it.
Also, keep in mind that you'll probably be responsible for moving the treadmill yourself so you may need to rent or borrow a truck. Plus, you can never really be sure why the buyer is selling.
And you don't know how much wear and tear is on the treadmill. Ao chances of buying a lemon are higher if you buy used than if you buy new.
So those are 3 ways to find low price treadmills. Just because you're on a budget doesn't mean you can't find a higher quality treadmill.
Whatever you choose to do, remember to buy as high quality as you can afford. It will pay off in the long run!
