Truck sales across the board have been skyrocketing, and it is not difficult to guess why. With so many businesses coming out of the recession with strong resurgences in sales and fleet owners looking to update their older equipment, buying trucks right now just seems to make sense! But when it comes to adding to your fleet, you do have a few different options as to how to go about it. Some opt for the brand new truck models that have been released within the past year, while others choose to go for used trucks instead. So which would make the best bet for your business? Read on to find out!
The Pros of Buying a New Truck vs. a Used Truck
Some fleet owners figure, if you are already going to make the investment in new vehicles, why not spring for something new? Many of the newer Freightliner and Western Star models available have the benefit of some of the latest technologies: specialized safety software, better fuel efficiency, and high-powered engines, to name a few. While these brand new purchases might constitute a larger investment, it is one that will definitely pay off in the long run.
The Pros of Buying a Used Truck vs. a New Truck
For those fleet owners on a budget or looking to expand their fleet slowly, a used truck may end up being the better bet. Used models are not necessarily outdated, and many do include the same features as some of the latest trucks on the roads. The biggest benefits of a used truck is likely going to be price; a lower initial price may be appealing to fleet owners who are not quite ready yet to take the plunge for something fresh off the lot. Luckily, Baltimore Freightliner-Western Star has a large selection of both new and used trucks, so no matter what you are in the market for, we can help!
