Number of hours used, check the haul for any cracks, check the engine for corrosion, be sure to take it for a good test ride before you buy it too. If it has been used in the ocean it is worth less then if it was lake only, ask the owner if they hosed it off after every use and flushed the engine if it was ocean used. Check the serial number and model number with the manufacturer to see if the unit had been recalled.

don't buy from a rental company, i used to work at a marina and after a few years we'd seel out jet skis and we'd rip them off so bad! Jet ski's are typically beat to crap and are a big money pit, i hope ur mechanical and if not then u should look at buying new.

Just don't buy a used jet-ski, a new one is a bad deal, used is out of the question.
