VALUE FOR MONEY: BUYERS ARE CLEARLY TURNING TO AUCTIONS IN TOUGH TIMES
Upcoming truck and trailer auction will attract crowd.
Results from a successful March auction indicate a stable demand for good quality, second-hand heavy commercial vehicles as businesses turn to auctions seeking value for money.
That’s the news from Park Village Auction’s LeRoy Augustyn who reports that last month’s auction fetched above average prices for commercial workhorses. Says Augustyn: “Buyers are clearly preparing for hard times ahead. This was evident in the fierce competition for the Volvo, Freightliner truck tractors and Henred Freuhauf Side Tipper trailers.”
In light of these outcomes, Augustyn predicts that PVA’s upcoming truck and trailer auction, set to take place on Thursday April 20, will once again attract a crowd of discerning buyers across the spectrum.
Commencing at 10.30am, the auction will showcase a number of top quality truck tractors, trailers, yellow metal and farming equipment.
First up on the block will be a collection of rigid trucks and truck tractors from manufacturers such as Freightliner, Hino, International, Isuzu, Iveco, various MAN TGA and TGS models, Mercedes Benz, Mitsubishi Fuso, Nissan, Scania, Tata, Toyota Dyna and Volvo.
Trailers and earthmoving equipment to be auctioned in- clude a large fleet of flat deck link trailers, SA Truck Bodies, Henred Freuhauf, Afrit and Motor Trail flat deck, side tippers, Tautliner trailers, skidsteer loaders, excavators and backhoe loaders.
Augustyn adds, “In the wake of our recent credit downgrade which will drastically affect fuel and new vehicle prices, value for money is paramount.”
