Condition & Buyer Notes
Inspect before you buy
Confirm mechanical condition, service records, active leaks and core functions — ideally with an independent inspection — before you send a deposit.
Know your number
Work out the monthly payment and get pre-qualified, so you negotiate as a buyer who can actually close.
Price the haul
Get a transport quote based on pickup, delivery and dimensions so distance doesn’t sink an otherwise good deal.
Finance This Unit
A serious buyer should know the monthly number before negotiating. Use the payment estimate in the sidebar, then request pre-qualification if the unit fits your work and budget.
Shipping & Transport
Distance shouldn’t kill a good deal. Request a transport quote based on pickup, delivery, dimensions and whether the unit can load under its own power.
