Asphalt Roller
The art of satisfaction in a purchase and sale transaction is when the parties involved have the feeling that they got more than what they are offering in exchange, unquestionably the buyers want to pay less, and the sellers always want to earn more.
However, achieving this balance is virtually impossible, especially when buyers are unclear about the type of purchase that best suits them to move forward with their projects.
At Pittman Tractor, we have years of experience helping our customers buy or rent asphalt paving equipment, so we have encountered the question of whether it is better to buy used or new asphalt rollers many times before.
This article will give you a clearer idea of the best option in the most general cases.
People interested in getting asphalt paving machines for their projects usually find themselves always trying to determine if it is better to buy new equipment or if it is more convenient to work with used equipment.
Used equipment
On the one hand, the indisputable advantage of second-hand equipment should be its value. However, the main problem is its financing; few banking institutions will be able to grant a direct credit for an operation of this nature. On the other hand, for a new machine, financing is an automatic option.
New equipment
On the other hand, new machinery tends to be more efficient, consumes less energy, generates less waste, has a warranty, and its financing makes it very attractive; however, spare parts are expensive, maintenance requires specialized technicians, increasingly use more complex software that only the manufacturer manipulates and become a problem if there is no constant production, which pays the forced monthly payments.
The advantages of each case are clear, but when is new or used equipment more convenient? Let's see:
Situations in which it makes sense to work with new machinery
A buyer should consider acquiring new equipment when his production schedule is secured under legal work contracts that will allow him to consistently meet his loan payments, when the machines you currently have are generating high waste to streamline your process, or when you need to reduce your operating costs.
Situations in which it is convenient to work with used machinery
A piece of used equipment will always be a better option for those businesses that are just starting, with no guarantee of fixed production volumes, when your activity is very specialized and difficult to get new machines, or when the machinery does not have significant advances in its technology.
Of course, these two situations are quite general, so the best thing to do after understanding your position and your purchasing possibilities is to have a conversation with an expert who can finish advising you on what is the best investment you can make according to your specific needs and conditions.
