Newbie and Buggy

Hi all.
I'm playing with the idea of getting a buggy. Any ideas of what I should look for as I'm new to that section of the sport ? Anyone have something used, low budget that I can get ?
Every tip will be welcome.

Thanks

Your easiest find on a used buggy will be a Peter Lynn XR+. It is a good starter buggy for you to get acquainted with the sport, and if you choose to upgrade later, it will be easy to resell to someone who needs one. There are cheaper buggys out there but none with better value. Also consider Flexifoil buggies. I think the two are about the same price now, so sit down in both if you have an opportunity.

Avin: I am in Chicago area and have been keeping this because too much to ship to someone. We could meet if you want to look at it. Not sure on model, but seems to work fine in the soccer fields I use... someone on the forum my be able give us some detail on model and if $200 is fair price. ed

Looks like an older model PL Comp Std, and $200.00 is a very fair price IMHO. I paid a little more than that for mine about 2 yrs ago and it is still serving me fine.(I'm #200) Small and light, very nimble buggy. Not a race machine, but a great starter buggy.
