0 Bullwinkled Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Buy Used, I like Pacemaster, but I am into power walking and like it's stiffer bed. Go to 2nd Wind try some. Then be patient on Craigs List you will save 50 to 75%. A lot of people buy treadmills and do not use them. Now is peak time for potential users to buy, Spring is peak time for them to sell.

0 Sandmannd Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 You can email me at s_e_hendricks at comcast dot net and I'll chat with you about them. But yea, used is the way to go. Adjustable speed and hight is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Coach1310 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 My wife and I just bought a NordicTrack and have been very pleased so far. I understand what folks are saying about buying used, but most companies have a really good warranty and service program if you buy new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ddsbyday Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The worst time to buy excercise stuff or join a gym is now. If you can wait 2 months you will be able to pick them up cheap. Most will be only used a few times. There is something about the new year that motivates people. I would be willing to bet that 2nd wind gets most of their used inventory around March or April. Go to Craig's with a little patience and an idea of what you are looking for. You will get the best deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 18 inch Crappie Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 You get what you pay for, just remember that. A good treadmill will have a good deck and belt that you can wax and make sure it has a nice sized motor. I worked fro Pro Source a while back and did service on them things.
