Lower Purchase Price

One of the biggest advantages of purchasing a used vehicle is the cost savings. Used vehicles are significantly cheaper than new ones. This price difference can amount to thousands, if not tens of thousands of euros. By choosing a used truck, machine, or other vehicle, you can save a substantial portion of your business capital. This capital can then be used for other activities within your company.

Less Depreciation

Used vehicles have lower depreciation costs compared to new vehicles. Depreciation is the loss of value that a vehicle undergoes as it accumulates more mileage. Used vehicles often have already undergone a significant portion of their depreciation before you purchase them, meaning they will lose less value. The most significant depreciation occurs in the first few years of a vehicle, so if you buy a used vehicle that is already a few years old, you benefit from slower depreciation. By choosing a used vehicle or a used machine, you not only benefit from lower purchase costs but also from reduced depreciation costs, leading to long-term savings for your business.

Shorter Delivery Time

Do you need a new vehicle quickly because your fleet is growing or because a vehicle has broken down? Consider a used vehicle. Second-hand vehicles are often immediately available, so you don't have to waste time waiting for the delivery of a new model. The immediate availability of second-hand vehicles allows businesses to quickly respond to changing circumstances or market opportunities.

Wide Range of Brands and Models

When purchasing second-hand vehicles and machines, there are many options available on the market. Unlike new vehicles, where you are limited to the current models, the second-hand market offers a much broader range of choices. This is because the range of used vehicles and machines is often a mix of older models, different brands, and varying specifications. As a buyer, this gives you a much greater selection to find a vehicle or machine that perfectly meets your specific needs and budget. We also offer a wide range of used vehicles on our platform.

Tips for Buying a Used Vehicle

Are you unsure if you can trust the condition of a second-hand vehicle? Always take a close look at the photos and videos of the vehicle in question. At BAS World, we understand that this can be challenging, which is why we take photos and a video of each vehicle showing everything. In this video, you can also hear the engine running. Still have doubts? At BAS World, you can always request a technical report of the vehicle. Do you have more questions about buying a used vehicle? Feel free to contact our experts!
