Make a Choice That’s Smart for Your Business.
Should you buy new or used? Sooner or later, most every owner-operator or fleet manager faces this question – and it's an important one, because buying the proper equipment is key to running a successful business. So here are a few things to consider:
Cost:
It's wise to think of cost in terms of what you're getting for what you're paying. In this regard, used trucks offer a tremendous value. Typically, the monthly payment for a used truck will be substantially lower than the payment for a new truck. And the finance term length will also be shorter, which means you won't be carrying a truck payment for as long. If you're an owner-operator, your truck payment will probably be your largest fixed monthly expense so the sooner you eliminate it, the quicker you can save up for your next down payment. For fleet managers, the money saved by buying used may allow you to add more trucks to your fleet.
Resale Value:
It's a fact that a new truck's value will depreciate more in its first year than any other year. If you plan to keep your truck for a long time, this may not be an issue. If you like to buy a new truck every few years, it could be.
Your Needs:
Whether you choose new or used, aim for a truck that offers fuel economy, efficiency and comfort at a cost that makes sense for the type of driving you do. Matching the right components to the way you'll be using your truck(s) will help save fuel, reduce downtime and conserve maintenance dollars.
