New equipment comes with current specifications, warranties and predictable history. Used equipment can be a smart way to add capability at a lower entry point — and eligible used equipment may be considered for financing or leasing with FixFin, depending on the equipment, its condition and the transaction.
Neither path is universally better. The right choice depends on the equipment category, availability, budget and how the machine fits the operation.

WHAT HELPS A USED-EQUIPMENT REQUEST
Photos of the actual unit, serial numbers, the seller's details and a written quote or purchase agreement all help. For dealer-refurbished equipment, the dealer's own documentation carries weight.
Eligible used equipment may be considered — the available structure depends on the equipment, its age and condition, and the transaction.
