Adding a bus to your fleet is a big decision. You want to get the most out of your investment and ensure you can provide safe and reliable transportation. When buying, you are faced with two options: new or used. If the sky’s the limit with your budget, a new bus is very tempting. You can pick and choose the exact model you want, along with any made-to-order customization, knowing it arrives perfect and ready to go with that new bus smell.
In many cases, however, a preowned bus can be a smart alternative. Here at Rohrer Bus, we have come to understand our customers and know that most are on a limited budget and want to maximize value and reliability when purchasing a bus. That’s why we have a large selection of quality preowned buses that are ready for many more miles of transportation duty.
Why purchase a preowned bus? As with any major purchase, the main advantage of choosing a preowned model is price. You can save tens of thousands of dollars over the price of a new bus and still obtain all the features you’re looking for. If you buy a used bus, the initial depreciation in value has already occurred, meaning the price is significantly lower than when it was new. For most groups, businesses and transportation providers, the lower initial cost is reason enough to choose a quality preowned bus over a new one.
Availability is another good reason to purchase a preowned bus. Most new buses need to be ordered and aren’t always available right away. A used bus is ready to go immediately, and you can inspect it in person to determine if it will meet your needs. If you need a bus to replace one that is out of service or to add capacity to a transportation route right away, a preowned bus might be the best decision.
While buying new allows you to include the newest and most modern features, with many manufacturers, you’re forced to buy upgrades as part of option packages. This can further add to the cost of your new bus and may mean you have to either spend more to get the features you want or do without them. This is another reason why buying a preowned bus is a good idea: You can shop different models and find the ones that have the exact features and layouts you need.
Our Rohrer Bus team has years of experience as a leading bus sales and rental company and will take the time to explain the advantages of our new and preowned buses before you make your choice. For many of our customers, the extra value of used buses simply makes the most sense. We invite you to discover our selection of quality preowned buses that are ready to hit the road. Together we will look at things like mileage, service and maintenance history, body and interior condition to help you find the perfect bus for your transportation needs.
