The most obvious factor - the cheaper purchase cost in comparison to new machinery. Whether it was owned for a few months or actively used for many years, the market value of used machinery is lower.

New equipment almost always involves a significant lead time before you see it active. Sometimes, many months to move from glossy brochures to your plant floor! How about seeing it in action right away? Get to view the machine and clarify then and there while it’s working. Save time and nasty surprises!
