Why an Unused Truck Can Still Be a Discount Truck

Buying Guide

Why an Unused Truck Can Still Be a Discount Truck

Spot stock is discounted for how long it has stood not for how hard it has worked. What that means for a buyer.

Built Not Worked

Part of our discount stock consists of trucks that were built but never put into service and have been sitting in stock since. The discount comes from the time standing rather than from hours on the clock which is a very different proposition from a high mileage trade in.

Availability Is the Real Advantage

Several discount listings state that the unit can be collected at any time because the truck physically exists in the yard. When a contract starts next month a truck in stock beats a better truck on a build slot.

Batches Change the Economics

Listings such as the multiple HOWO 6x4 right hand drive 380 horsepower 5.6 metre dump trucks and the five HOWO left hand drive tractor units cover several identical vehicles. Buying a batch spreads freight cost and gives a fleet or dealer identical units to maintain.

Chassis Only for Local Body Builders

We list a HOWO 400 horsepower truck chassis that can be fitted with a body locally. If you already have a body builder or a specialist superstructure this avoids paying twice.

What to Check on Standing Stock

A vehicle that has stood still needs its own checks. Ask about tyres seals batteries and fluids rather than about engine hours. These are the items that age on a parked truck and they are inexpensive to put right before shipping.
