Why You Should Buy Used Machinery from an MDNA Dealer

Many MDNA dealers are specialists who have the technical experience you can depend on. They know the value of used machine tools. Also, today’s dealers often can serve you in many ways: financing, leasing, mortgaging, or renting.

Remember these three important advantages when you consider buying quality used metalworking equipment from MDNA dealers:

Availability – The machine you want is ready for shipment. Delivery time is short because many MDNA dealers have a professional network and communicate “instantly” with each other through various means including LOCATOR Direct and Dealer Lead Service (DLS). This allows MDNA dealers to find the machine you need fast. LOCATOR directory is another resource. Each month, the directory and companion website - www.LocatorOnline.com - lists 25,000 pieces of used equipment for sale.

Reliability – MDNA dealers buy the right used equipment so you can buy directly from them. If necessary, the machinery they acquire may be reconditioned or rebuilt. Under the MDNA Code of Ethics, MDNA dealers may accept within 30 days from shipment any equipment sold with a return privilege, freight prepaid, for a full refund if the machine is proven mechanically unsatisfactory, or they will have it repaired at the dealer’s option.

Price – The cost of most used machinery can be from 30 percent to 70 percent less than the price of a similar new machine. This allows you to maximize your investment while maintaining your productivity.

Also, the MDNA Buyer’s Guide is an invaluable tool to the prospective buyer of used machinery. Many of the dealers listed in theGuide are experts with a broad range of technical experience and production know-how. Furthermore, each of the dealers subscribes to the MDNA Code of Ethics, your guarantee of satisfaction.

The value of used equipment has been proven over time – NOW is the time for you to do business with MDNA dealers!
