What’s Good About Second Hand Vans?

There’s a lot of good things about second hand vans. Allow us to elaborate…

They’re not all high mileage and full of rust like many may assume. The turnover of vans is much higher than it used to be, due to things like van lease deals. As a result newer (second hand) vans come to the market sooner in better condition, and at a cheaper price. Practical and affordable.

Potential Second Hand Van Gem’s

Modern vans are built to last. So, technically, a second hand van that’s a decade old has still got potential. Advancements in technology mean that most vans on the road are more reliable than ever before, even after several years. 

Yes, there’s sometimes wear and tear, but well looked after, regularly serviced vans still have a lot to offer. As long as you do your due diligence, you can find some real gems in the second hand vans market. 

Forget About the Price Tag

New vans come at a premium. However, two or three years down the line, the value of the van will have reduced significantly. Once these new van owners decide to upgrade, their old van becomes available at a fraction of the price. 

For businesses with tight budgets, these second hand vans are instantly attractive. Plus, with a ton of financing options available as well as purchase outright deals to be done, it’s possible to get your hands on a quality van for much cheaper than you’d think. 

Depreciation is Not Your Problem

Unlike new vans, second hand vans don’t drop as steep and tend to hold their value better. Therefore, financially, second hand vans can be a better investment for your business. 

It’s nice to know that when you’re ready to change your van, there’ll still be some weight in your old one to generate some cash or use as a part exchange. 

Cheaper Insurance

You won’t be surprised to hear that second hand vans attract lower insurance premiums, so that’s another bonus. Again, this can hugely benefit business and even personal users, by keeping costs under control and manageable. 

Clearer Conscience

Whilst you’re still a van user, you’ll be a van user that has reduced the demand for the manufacturing of new vehicles. It’s a sustainable option, especially if you’re a bigger business running a larger fleet of vehicles.
