One of the biggest fears an equipment buyer has is investing in a used machine with an unknown problem. No matter how sharp the buyer is, there is always the dreaded thought that there may have been an error in the inspection.
The Komatsu ReMarketing program was developed to enable buyers to confidently purchase high quality, cost effective used equipment easier and faster. This is to take the anxiety out of buying used equipment.
How It Works
• Certification Training —Komatsu ReMarketing has trained more than 300 technicians at Komatsu Distributors throughout the country. These technicians were provided a complete evaluation framework for determining the condition of a machine. This evaluation allows the certified technician to accurately appraise the unit’s operational performance by examining each of its individual components.
• Evaluation Standards and Ratings — Once the machine is appraised by the technician it is given an overall rating, “A” through “E,” based upon the inspection report and the unit’s hours and age. The “A” through “E” rating can be easily understood and communicated. This basic rating system means that the buyer can understand the condition of a machine with just a simple letter.
• Warranty — ReMarketing machines with a final overall rating of an “A” or a “B” are eligible for Komatsu’s Advantage Power Train Extended Warranty. This warranty sets a standard in coverage offering no stop loss and non-prorated coverage with only a $250.00 deductible per occurrence. It also comes in a wide variety of terms so it offers flexible coverage to suit buyers’ needs.
• Financing — At times it’s difficult to find good reputable financing for a piece of used equipment. Komatsu ReMarketing provides special retail financing for all “A,” “B” and “C” rated machines. This gives buyers the ability to have below market interest rates along with the comfort and ease of dealing with Komatsu Financial.
• Internet — Komatsu’s ReMarketing Internet site, www.equipmentcentral.com, is a source for learning more about what’s new in the ReMarketing program along with the power to search through hundreds of ReMarketing Qualified machines.
The Komatsu ReMarketing program also furnishes an excellent opportunity for the profit-minded contractor. Buyers can get a lower initial investment reducing the hourly owning and operating cost without sacrificing productivity or reliability.
