  Although new trucks generally cost less to operate and maintain, the initial purchase price, F.E.T., and higher insurance costs means higher initial investment and higher Cost Per Mile. When a used truck buyer considers all operating costs - like maintenance and fuel, taxes, insurance and depreciation - they can quickly see that their total "Cost of Ownership" can be reduced with the purchase of quality used semi truck.
The calculator below can provide you with an estimate of your potential costs savings. Fill it out and see if it makes sense for you to buy used.
Call us or to speak with one of our sales professionals about the financial advantages of buying a used semi truck.

 

Depreciation
When you buy a brand-new semi, it depreciates in value as soon as you drive it off the dealer, just as a new car does. And most of the depreciation that follows happens within the first months.
When you buy a used truck that's been "around the block" for several years, depreciation no longer becomes a real issue, making your investment in a used truck much more solid. In fact, used models hold their value as time goes on, more so than a new truck does.
This becomes a huge advantage when it comes time to sell, particularly if you have to sell soon after buying; you won't take as much of a monetary loss as you would when trying to sell a new truck.  
 

 

  Shopping the pre-owned market will also give fleet owners additional options to choose from. Many discontinued models that are no longer available can be found in used inventories. We carry used Semi Truck Volvos, Pitterbuilt, Kennworth.

Looking at used commercial truck models does not mean shoppers have to miss out on the protection provided by a warranty. Many used trucks will still have warranties in effect.
