brand new vehicle
Some may argue that the difficulties within the car industry have meant that dealers are providing excellent prices and cheap financing options both of which are true, but there is still one huge cost involved with buying a brand new vehicle. That cost is depreciation and it is definitely one that you cannot ignore. Most new vehicles decrease in value by as much as 30% in the first year alone!
So do you want to buy the new vehicle at full price or the used one for 30% less? It's a no brainer. There are so many used trucks out there that you find could one that is a year old or one that is 10 years old. Just be sure to check what condition the vehicle is in because it's not about how old the truck is, it's about how well it has been looked after. Especially with commercial trucks and vans which are designed to be able to do hundreds of thousands of miles without too many problems.

HGVs then it is worth shopping
With metal, one doesn't need to paint it periodically. Over many years this saves customers hundreds of dollars. Washing metal is much easier. There is no need for brushing and hard scrubbing. One simply needs a water hose and the structure is clean. There's no need for odorous cleaning solvents and other detergents.
Metal structures have been used by the military for more than 60 years. The reason the military uses metal structures is due to the sturdiness of the structures. The military has built them in regions with the most extreme climates and landscapes. From the sandstorms of Iraq to the sub-arctic wind-swept steeps of Afghanistan, the Canadian and American military house their soldiers and command centers in metal buildings. If those structures can withstand these extreme conditions, they are sure to withstand the moderate temperate climate and landscapes of North America. Even the worst Canadian winters cannot cause extensive damage to metal buildings.
Metal buildings are made from prefabricated materials. That means most of the construction has been done at the factory. When you decide to build your garage, storage space or workshop, it will not take long to assemble. This is another reason why the Canadian and American military use metal buildings on their bases both at home and abroad.
Out with the old and in with the new; well how about out with the old and in with the slightly used? For small and medium sized enterprises the later approach is definitely the one to adopt. Whatever industry you work in, if you need a fleet of LCVs or HGVs then it is worth shopping around to try and find a reliable used truck before going and picking up a new one from a dealership. Just because a vehicle is newer it doesn't mean that it is worth the extra cost.
