How to buy a used excavator?
#1
Would you click "place an order" online like buying a mobile phone and then wait for delivery at home? If you have this habit, I hope you won't get into trouble.

There must be some details between the excavators sold online and the ones you actually see, and these details are definitely important.

If you want to buy a satisfactory excavator, it is best to see the machine in person or send a representative to see it on site.
  • First, choose a salesperson you like. This is the beginning of everything. In the process of communicating with him, you will understand his professionalism, integrity, ability and personality.
  • Then, determine the model you need. Due to the huge amount of information posted online, salespeople generally do not delete the information of sold machines. The salesperson will help you choose a machine of the same type instead of the one you saw online.
  • Next, pay a deposit to the company where the salesperson works, and then ask them for an invitation letter to apply for an international visa.
  • Next, you can fly to your destination to see and choose the excavator you like with your own eyes. In addition to seeing with your eyes, it is best to drive the machine yourself to feel the condition of the machine. After selecting it, you can also negotiate the price.
  • The most important step may be price negotiation. The same machine has different prices in different countries. For example, the price of Sany excavators in the United States is usually 2.5 times that of China.

There is no doubt that China has the world's largest excavator market and has a very competitive price. As you can see, the mobile phone numbers of the salesmen who posted cheap and easy-to-use excavators online all start with +86.

Original excavator or refurbished excavator?

In China, excavator buyers usually choose old machines without any modification, because the age, residual value, value retention and performance of the machine can be estimated from the scars of the excavator.

And the European and American customers and African customers we meet usually choose refurbished excavators, yes, this is good. We will repair the machine to be exactly like a new machine, both in appearance and performance. The price of refurbished excavators will be higher. From another perspective, if you do the same excavator refurbishment in your own country, the cost may be several times higher than that in China.
So, whether you buy a machine in its original state or a refurbished machine, it is a good choice, which depends on whether your salesperson is honest.

If you need to buy a large number of machines, you can try buying one first without telling the salesperson your intention. If he is reliable, you can find him next time. If he only wants to do business once, then you have to change the salesperson.
