When does it make the most sense to buy a used truck?
Owner-operators often start their careers behind the wheel of a used truck. Used trucks provide an affordable option when starting a business. Late model, low-mile trucks are available when you need them to supplement your fleet if you are a new buyer. Outside of the owner-operator market, used trucks work great for regional operations, such as port work, agriculture or low mileage construction jobs.
Here are a few items to consider when it comes to used trucks and how to get the best value:
FINANCING
If you’re going to finance a used truck, find out in advance if your bank or other money source has a stipulation on mileage or vehicle age. Some may only want to finance a truck that is less than five or six years old, with less than 600,000 miles for example. Make sure you go into the process with realistic expectations if you think you can’t get financing.
