Why Buy a Used Cargo Trailer?
If you’re looking to buy a cargo trailer, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of options to choose from. Whether you’re on a tight budget or you simply love a great deal, you should consider checking out used trailers. You might be surprised to learn how many perks you’ll enjoy when you buy a pre-owned model. True Value Trailers & Power Equipment has created this brief guide with some important information to help you get started. We’re proud to carry a variety of used trailers for sale in Penrose and Florence, Colorado. Read on to learn more, then visit our dealership to check out our used inventory.
Lower Ownership Costs
The first thing to think about is how much it will cost you to purchase, operate, and maintain your used cargo trailer. As you might have guessed, pre-owned models cost much less upfront than new models do. This is the first step in reducing your total ownership costs. When you’re on a tight budget, buying used can be very helpful in lowering your initial expenditure.
Ease of Use
Another reason why you should buy a used trailer is that they’re almost always easier to use. New models, on the other hand, offer new technology and features. This tends to create a challenging learning curve for new owners. When you buy a pre-owned model, you eliminate these issues. You can seek out a model that is somewhat similar to the style of features that you’re familiar with. As you can imagine, this makes it much easier for you as you start learning how to use your trailer.
Increased Resale Value
When you buy something new, it experiences the biggest dip in value during the first year of ownership. You skip this depreciation period when you buy a pre-owned model rather than a new one. Considering that these models have already endured the hardest hit to their value, this allows you to receive a better resale value. You’d lose more money selling a new model than you would if you were selling a used one.
Warranty Repairs
Even some new models can require repairs during the warranty period. Sure, this doesn't cost money since it's covered by the warranty. However, it can be a hassle to coordinate the warranty repair, drop off the trailer, wait for it to be repaired, then schedule a pick-up. If you get a used trailer, then the original owner would have already dealt with all of this. This allows you to own a model with all the manufacturing issues fixed.
