Advantages of Buying Used Construction Equipment
Before you decide whether to buy new or used construction equipment you need to ask yourself this question: “Are you spending most of your money paying for your construction equipment or is the equipment bringing you money?” Whether you decide to buy new or used construction equipment, you need to know how you’ll pay for it. In case it is not worthwhile for your business to buy new equipment, then you should consider buying used. High quality used construction equipment can do the same job as new but costs less money to buy.
The following are some advantages of buying used construction equipment:
- Saves money
- Great value
- Better resale value
- Selection
Saves Money
Sometimes it may not be sustainable for your business to purchase new equipment. In this case, you can opt to purchase quality used equipment that costs less money. Doing so will save you thousands of dollars that you can use for equipment maintenance.
Great Value
The truth of the matter is that not all construction equipment available on the market today are of the highest quality. Rather than spending your money on new but inferior quality equipment, it makes sense to purchase used equipment from a reputable brand. What this means is that you will end up with a top-notch piece of equipment that costs less money. Thus, you will get value for your money.
Better Resale Value
Typically, the resale value of new construction equipment takes the worst hit in the first year. Just like owning a new car, your new construction equipment can depreciate by 20 percent in the first year and slow down in the second, third and fourth year. Therefore, if you are planning to sell your equipment, the future resale value will be smaller than the initial price. However, if you purchase used equipment, depreciation has already been factored in which means that you are saving money.
Better Selection
If you were to purchase a new construction equipment, it would take longer because you have to wait for the equipment to be manufactured. However, if you choose to buy used construction equipment, you would have a better selection that is immediately available.
Things to Look out For Before Buying Used Construction Equipment
Before you decide to purchase used construction equipment in Campton KY, there are several features you need to look out for. The first is the tires and tracks. Check for wear and confirm that the treads are in place. The same should apply to the bolts and tracks. Secondly, examine the chassis to confirm if the equipment is in good condition. Don’t forget to check the hydraulic parts, engine, pumps, and hoses for signs of leaks. Lastly, examine the engine and transmission. You can go with a professional operator to help you examine that the engine is working properly.
