Buying a bucket truck should be a smooth process. There are two main keys to getting in and out fast while saving money, be prepared and be organized. The sooner you get your bucket truck, the quicker you can get it to a job site and start making money. Regarding this article, we will assume you have done the right amount of research and decided on the desired bucket truck for you.

Getting the detailed information of your equipment (example: VIN, mileage, year, make, model) is vital to making the purchasing process smooth. Lenders and insurance companies use this information when going through their process. Getting financing and insurance should be done before you get to the dealership. Doing this will cut down on a lot of time wasted.

Insurance companies make money by carrying your policy. Some of you are extremely loyal to your insurance provider. For those of you that prefer a better price and better coverage, you should shop pit insurance companies against each other to find the lowest price and the best coverage. Commercial insurance is notoriously high so, cutting a money out of your plan could add up to significant amounts over the long term.

After securing a loan and obtaining insurance, you need to focus on a payment method. Try asking the dealer what their preferred payment method is(sellers are charged a fee for debit or credit card transactions or wiring funds). You will most likely get better and faster service by using the dealer's preferred payment method.

Ask if it is possible to defer on the extended warranty or any other incentives. Usually, you end up paying for them because they are absorbed into the sales price of the bucket truck. By removing these incentives, you could easily save $5,000 or more. Doing this is particularly recommended to smaller businesses or individuals. Larger companies have the benefit of deducting the cost on taxes and keep the benefits they provide.

Being prepared and knowledgeable will make you a better customer and move you along in the buying process. Time is money in the bucket trucks world, don't waste either at the dealership. Your dealer will be extremely appreciative of your being an excellent customer. You never know, when you need to buy another bucket truck, they may give you an even better deal because they know you are an efficient buyer.
