There are several benefits of buying used commercial trucks that help make it a viable, and sometimes preferable, option for businesses and owners looking to build their fleet. Shopping the pre-owned market can be an excellent way to choose from a wide selection of trucks at a lower price compared to newer models.
Maximizing Investment and Choice
The obvious draw of a pre-owned truck is the lower price tag. This is just part of what makes used models a good investment for budget-minded shoppers. Pre-owned trucks also suffer less depreciation than new purchases. This means that they retain more of their initial value than new trucks, which can make them a better investment for some owners. Financing options are also available on pre-owned trucks that can help ease the financial burden of these purchases even more. Allstate Peterbilt Group offers financing for used commercial purchases through our All Wheels Financial affiliate.
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.
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. Other warranties are also available for purchase through different vendors including the Peterbilt Red Oval Program.
