You should always try out the treadmill before you buy so you know that it is in working order.
Now that you have found the right treadmill, you have to see if the price is right. New treadmills cost several thousands of dollars but a second hand one should cost around half to a third of the price it was originally bought for. Commercial treadmills are always a good buy because they are designed to last and to be used for long times.

Another good deal is a refurbished treadmill. These are treadmills that have had previous problems or are factory seconds and they are reconditioned so they work just like new. They are then sold on at a fraction of the original price. This is a great way to get a brand name for a good price.

You just need to know where to look to get the cheapest prices.
One of the best places to find cheap treadmills is in the local classified ads. You can look either in the newspaper or on your local section of Craigslist for cheap, used treadmills at great prices.

You might also find a good deal on eBay. A lot of people today automatically check eBay before making a major purchase, to see if they can find it cheaper there. This famous online auction house has become famous for offering some of the lowest prices on just about anything in the world.
A lot of the treadmill brands you find online at places such as Ebay, are the same as those you will find at local retailers. the main difference is the price you will pay.
Cheap treadmill closeouts can also be found at your local discount department store. Sometimes, a particular model of treadmill is discontinued (this can be for a variety of reasons, usually due to an upgrade in technology on new models). The models that are left in stores will be marked down drastically in price. Call around, or go check in person at the discount department stores in your area to see if you can find a good deal.
