I would look for a local dealer, that way you can look at it, drive it and get a feal for the dealer. if you have one drop shipped you will have to put it together, which can be challenging
what type of riding will you be doing and how many people will be riding in the buggy?

Have you looked at the blades? the 250xt and the new xtx are nice. do alot of searches on here before you jump into one. buying online can be risky. do all the research you can

Titan is agreat buggy for a beginner, a beginner mechanic that is. If you want a buggy that is slow, heavy, ugly and breaks alot so you can hone your mechanic skills, I would say the Titan is the best choice. If you actually want to spend time riding you would be much better off with a blade, twister, dazon, joyner, or even one of the more reliable Roketa buggys.Good luck with your search. I personally would look for a used joyner 2006 or newer with the high low tranny for about 2000 to 2500. That would be the perfect buggy at that price. They are a dime a dozen here in AZ but they may not be available where you are at.

ive got to say vanet is right on this one i like my cart but take a lot of time to fix thing i onloy have ten hours on mine who knows what the other owner put on it but ive had a lot of problems i like joyners but idn if they are big enough for 2 6.3 guys i think that blade would be your best bet

. Vanet that was too funny. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I agree with you except for the Roketa buggy. All the others are a solid choice.

To quote the great Bill Lumberg, "I'm going to have to go ahead and........disagreeee with you on that one". I actually like the unusual looks of the Titan and think many of the 150 blade style buggies are ugly. Maybe my Titan will be a piece of dirty diaper, but it will look cool sitting in my yard, hahahahaha!
