Anyone can own a premium quality used bus for sale with a decent budget of $25,000 which is almost half the amount it takes to purchase a basic 15 seater new bus for sale. This steep reduction in the buying price has made bus ownership a dream come true for hundreds and thousands of businesses, organizations and institutions across the United States. However there are equal number of interested parties that have lesser or tighter budgets and would be interested in owning a used bus. To fulfill this demand many financial institutions have entered the bus industry with packages that are customizable down to every individual buyer. They analyse the repayment ability of buyers and finance their purchase accordingly. Their interest rates are attractive below market averages and buyers with average or bad credit history also get approved. Due to these flexibilities small businesses with a budget of just $5,000 can own a second hand bus worth $25,000. The $5,000 payment is made as a down payment and the remaining $20,000 is financed by the lending institution at lower than market interest rates. Its divided into monthly installments over a period of 2 to 5 years. Its better for the buyers to chose a shorter period of repayment because it will save them thousands of dollars in the long term.
Thus owning a used bus for sale has never been so easier in the USA. A Casino or a hotel with limited budget may have to go for financing. However, this is not the best option for a Church. They should resort to a fund raising campaign collecting money from the congregation. This will save them thousands of dollars in interest payments. In fact, many Churches have managed to outright purchase a bus with their fund raising campaigns. Its a luxury they have which schools, colleges, casinos and hotels dont. A Church raises funds before making a purchase, whereas other businesses, organizations and institutions can raise funds after making the purchase. For example the casino will be able to reach out to more customers and hotels more guests thus bringing in more business and sales. Similarly the school or college may charge a monthly fee or an annual subscription to its students for the bus service. Either which ways they have to come up with a substantial amount by themselves to make the purchase. However, the Churches are above them because they can start with a fund raising campaign months or even years before buying the vehicle.
When a 15 passenger bus for sale like the one mentioned in the above video is used to provide Jitney services where travelers are ferried for a fare, then moving just 15 or 20 passengers a day can sufficient to pay for the daily bills. The bus can seat 15 people and just one trip it can pay for the daily expenses. If the owner or the manager can make the vehicle operate for 10 hours with 10 trips across different locations. Then the revenue generated from one trip can pay for the bills whereas those generated from the other 9 trips are pure profits. They can be used for setting up a management system so the owner can rise above the business and become its head or CEO instead of getting involved in the daily nitty-gritty. Once the management is setup and the profits keep flowing in, then the owner can look forward to expand the business by purchasing more used buses for sale. Thus reinvesting in the startup business is an essential for its longevity. The owners should rise above to become managers and directors of the enterprise rather than acting as employees. Once the management has been effectively setup then its time to expand by finding more transportation opportunities and buying more used buses. Thus entire fleet lines can be setup with used buses for sale.It should be noted that with a budget for one new bus, two preowned buses can be purchased. In the long term 5 or even 10 second hand buses can be deployed with then budget of 2 to 5 new buses.
Used buses should be sparingly used just twice or thrice a week not for heavy usage. If an owner discovers an opportunity to run his vehicle 7 days a week then he should deploy two buses instead of one. This will ensure longevity of both the vehicles and they can be counted upon to last well beyond 5 years.
Major Vehicle Exchange is a dealership that has been selling its buses to public and private institutions across the United States for more than three decades. For more information visit our website or call the owner Charles Kaufman at 516-333-7483 today.
