Excavator to buy a new machine or used one?

With the new round of infrastructure investment, the international excavator market in 2019 is on the rise. Many owners plan to add equipment again, hoping to take a share in the new round of industry recovery!

Buying a new machine or a second mobile phone is the first issue that the owner needs to consider. It is better to buy a new machine, but the cost is relatively large, while the second mobile phone is cheaper, but the shady transaction and no after-sales service increase the investment risk.

Below, compare the difference between the two in terms of price, maintenance, fuel consumption, and age of use to see which one is more cost-effective!

Which price is more affordable for the new and second phones?

The original intention of many users to buy second-hand excavators is because the price of the second mobile phone is cheap. For example, the first-line brand micro-excavation of 20 tons used in the market for 10 years is taken as an example. The general price is about 20,000-30,000 US dollars.

However, the cost of second-hand excavator purchase is not only this one. According to industry practice, it is necessary to give an intermediary fee of about 2000-3000 US dollars for people who introduce second-hand excavator information.

Then a second-hand miniature excavator that has been in good condition for 10 years is finally purchased for between $2-3 million. The JINGGONG MINI excavator adopts the network sales model of the manufacturer, eliminating the intermediate link. The price of the new machine is only 50%-80% lower than that of the used excavator.

Which maintenance costs are lower for the new and second phones?

The second-hand excavator can't be separated from the word "maintenance" from buying back to construction. Some owners buy a second mobile phone very cheaply, but it takes a lot of time and money to repair, sometimes the cost of repair even exceeds the cost of the purchase.

Many second mobile phones have “shadow transactions”. The surface of the device looks intact and may be used for several months. It is necessary to replace the heavy-duty components such as the engine and the oil pump, and the maintenance cost of 2,000 to 3,000 US dollars is required.
