No machine is currently advertised for sale in the Denver metro. EquipmentsFinder is new in the United States, and sellers in Denver and Aurora have not added equipment so far. Shoppers can post a purchase request with machine type, size and delivery point, and anyone selling can list a machine without paying while the launch lasts.
The site works as a bulletin board. A buyer reaches the seller, and the two of them agree the price, the inspection and the handover. Buyers pay the site nothing. With few adverts around, your own request is the quickest way to get seen.
A new machine has a warranty and a dealer nearby. A used one saves capital if its past is documented. Because the metro sits about a mile up, ask whether an engine has been tuned or turbocharged for thin air, and look at how the machine handled winters. If the job is a single project, renting in Denver is worth comparing, and the invoice should show sales tax.
Cold starts, frozen water in fuel lines, and road salt on undercarriages all leave marks on used iron. Check block heaters, batteries, hoses and corrosion on frames before you commit.
Denver sits far from other large equipment markets, so many sellers will quote delivery from Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder or even farther. Tell sellers if you can accept a machine from out of state, and ask them to describe how it has been serviced. A wider search often turns up a better machine, but it costs more to move, so weigh haulage in the total.
Before you travel to see a machine, ask for photographs of the data plate, the hour meter and the service book. Find out whether it has spent its life on the plains or climbing mountain roads, since the two lives wear a machine differently. Ask how it was stored in winter, and whether any attachments, keys, manuals and spare parts go with it. Agree in writing what condition it will be in on the day you collect it, and who will load it.
Find an advert, contact the seller and settle terms between you. With nothing listed, begin with a purchase request.
New gives warranty and service coverage, while used cuts the outlay. Compare both to hiring.
A bill of sale with serial numbers, proof of ownership, any lien release and a title for road vehicles.
Yes. See it work under load and, if the purchase is large, bring your own mechanic.
That varies. Each advert will state how far the seller ships, including trips over mountain roads.
The list a machine form is free and puts your contact details in front of buyers.
