Why Smart Operators Buy Used Motorcoaches:
Save Big with No Tariffs & Better Value
When expanding your fleet, the numbers matter — and so does the fine print.
A brand-new motorcoach might sound like the ultimate investment... until you see the price tag plus hidden costs like tariffs, import taxes, and dealer markups.
That’s why more and more savvy buyers are choosing used. At BuyCoachBus.com, we help you get a top-quality coach without the extra weight on your balance sheet — and without tariff penalties that come with new imports.
Here’s why going used is not only practical — it’s strategic.
1. No Tariffs, No Hidden Import Costs
New motorcoaches, especially those imported from overseas (China, Belgium, Germany), often come with steep import tariffs, sometimes adding 20–30% or more to the base cost.
But when you buy used, you’re avoiding:
- U.S. Customs tariffs
- Anti-dumping duties
- Import surcharges on new foreign vehicles
Pre-owned buses are exempt from those charges.
2. High Quality, Lower Cost
Used doesn’t mean worn out. In fact, most of our inventory comes from well-maintained fleets with:
- Full service
- Clean titles
- Low to moderate mileage
- Interior upgrades, ADA options, and modern amenities
Our team carefully inspects every unit before listing — so you get dealer-level quality without dealer-level pricing.
3. Lower Depreciation = Higher ROI
Brand-new motorcoaches lose 20–30% of their value the moment they leave the lot.
Used coaches? Their value stabilizes faster and holds stronger — especially when maintained well. That makes used coaches ideal for:
- Startups and growing fleets
- Churches, schools, and municipalities
- Tour operators managing seasonal demand.
