QUICK TAKE

One of the noticeable trends in the commercial vehicle sector is the enormous demand for good quality used trucks this year.

The primary benefit of buying a pre-owned commercial vehicle is the cost savings.

“The most important thing when buying a commercial vehicle is to understand that it is a mission critical asset and uptime is of critical importance. Buyers need to consider the reputation of the entity they are buying their used truck from, as well as the future backup of the vehicle.”

Scania South Africa has sold in excess of a thousand used units this year.

97-98% of used vehicles sold by Scania would have undergone some form of refurbishment.
