Investing in a commercial truck is a major decision, and Kenworth is a top choice for performance, durability, and reliability. While new Kenworth models can be a more popular choice, purchasing a pre-owned truck offers a great range of benefits. For owner-operators, fleet managers, or first-time buyers, a used truck delivers the same quality at a more affordable price.
In this blog, we’ll explore the advantages of buying used trucks from cost savings and reliability to flexible financing options, and why it may be the perfect option for your trucking needs.
Lower Initial Cost
Used trucks are typically less expensive than newer models, making them a budget-friendly option without compromising quality. With a pre-owned truck, like a Kenworth, you can experience performance for a fraction of the price. For first time owner-operators, this affordability can allow you to more easily enter the industry while leaving room in your budget for other business expenses.
Our dealerships offer financing options tailored to your unique financial situation. This will make it easier to manage your budget while investing in a reliable vehicle. Depending on factors such as the truck model, year, condition, and your financial standing, you may also benefit from a lower down payment.
Lower Financial Risk
Used trucks come with a lower price tag than newer models which reduce your financial risk from the start. If at any point you need to sell your used truck, the potential loss on your investment will be smaller compared to selling a brand new truck, which begins to depreciate the moment it leaves the lot.
Lower Depreciation
New trucks depreciate quickly, whereas used trucks depreciate at a much slower rate. This means that if you choose to sell or trade in your truck down the line, it’s likely to retain more of its value compared to a newly purchased model. For first-time owner-operators, the slower depreciation allows you the option to potentially sell the truck later with minimal value loss – especially if the truck has been well-maintained.
Wide Selection
Our used inventory features a wide selection of makes, models, and years, providing you with more options than the new truck market. Whether you’re searching for a specific model year, a customized configuration, or a particular set of features, used trucks often provide more flexibility. This allows you to find the perfect vehicle for your needs without the added expense of paying additional for each of the latest features in a brand new model.
“Free” Customization
Many used trucks come equipped with aftermarket modifications and customization added by previous owners. These can include upgraded tires, performance enhancements, and more. Purchasing a pre-owned truck with these already installed features can save you both time and money, allowing you to enjoy your personalized vehicle without the additional costs of making these upgrades yourself.
At Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth, our body shop is equipped to help you customize any truck from our dealership’s inventory to meet your exact specifications.
Proven Reliability
Used commercial trucks offer another advantage: they’ve already proven their reliability and performance on the road. Known for their durability, Kenworth trucks are built to go the distance – literally! Used Kenworth trucks often exceed hundreds of thousands of miles. They are designed to handle demanding workloads and deliver longevity when well-maintained. Even as pre-owned models, they uphold their reputation for dependability. With regular maintenance, a used Kenworth can provide years of reliable service, making it a smart investment for any driver and their business.
