Mini Digger Price?

[Nick Watkins]

Anyone have good knowledge of second hand mini digger prices please?

 

I'll stick an advert up on arbtrader but am not sure exactly where to price it at.

 

It's a 2008 JCB 8025 ZTS in A1 condition and with only 290 hours on the clock. Recent JCB service and four buckets (One a V Ditching Bucket). No VAT and I'm looking to sell with Ifor Plant Trailer and x2 chain straps. It also has top of the range tracker with contract for life (need to check if this is transferable)

 

I've seen a few for around the 12K Mark but they usually have a few K hours on them and have VAT. I'm thinking £16K, any pointers welcome.

I can buy a brand new Cat for £20k plus vat, and a trailer for £1500 second hand, straps are a tenner.

As a guide price, brand new is 50% more tax efficient aswell and they are doing interest free credit.

Diggers always sell though.

Just curious, but in what way? AIA is available in both cases.

New kit 100% tax relief, 2nd hand 50% tax relief.

 

Unless you go over your limit.

Just as well my accountant handles that side then

 

And I'm no arborist

I've just reread my reply and it comes across as rather arrogant, sorry Stephen.

 

What I meant was that tax advice is important when making an investment decision, so if it is given it should be 100% accurate. 100% annual investment allowance is available on all plant, whether new or used.
