Hi all, I’ve been eyeing a few used trucks on Boom & Bucket for some heavy-duty tasks I have lined up. They’ve got some good options with warranties, but I’m curious if anyone here has bought a truck from them before. How was the process, and did the truck hold up well for your needs? Any insights or experiences would be super helpful as I’m considering making a purchase soon!
The only Boom and Bucket I can see advertising online is in America, so not really relevant for us here
Just saw the prices. And I would like to try.
It’s a free country, have at it if you think it’s worthwhile, but, you do realise the prices are in dollars, not pounds, and how much do you think shipping costs are to import a vehicle from the US? And would it be compliant? No Euro VI engines across the pond. How much would the VAT or import duty be?
Everything that @zac_a says, plus, since these are secondhand, how will you inspect them? Fly out to view? Or buy on trust?
What if they are not as described? You can’t just send them back to the seller.
And US laws (do they apply here?) seem very lax on guarantees, compared to UK or EU.
