We never sell a truck without permission from the owner up front!Be Wary of Fire Truck Poachers! Many "broker" websites advertise trucks which have been copied from fire department websites, and the site owners have no rights to advertise and sell them. These discount brokers (site owners) wait for a buyer to call and then do fast footwork with the selling department in an effort to get in the middle of the deal. Sometimes they offer sellers a "deal" on commission fees, but advertise trucks without prices, so the sellers never know how much money is received for their unit! With Firetec, buyers pay the owner (you!) directly so there are no mysteries. Another complaint we are hearing from our customers is that units offered through new "discounted brokerages," have an added "buyer's fee" tacked on--- this is an extra fee your buyer is charged to purchase your truck! We do not agree with this practice. When you buy or list through Firetec, there are no games. Honest sellers talking with honest buyers - Firetec makes the connection. |

Take advantage of end-of-year sales time! Take advantage of end-of-year sales time! Last year Firetec sold 63 trucks between October and January. Many towns have apparatus funds budgeted with a December 31 deadline for spending. Buyers always check with Firetec for the best selection of available units. If you already have a truck listed and want to be sure it is sold by winter, please call to discuss the current pricing on your unit. Often we have buyers trying to sniff out deals late in the year, and we need to know if you are a seller with wiggle-room in your price! If you are looking to move surplus apparatus before winter, and it's NOT yet listed on www.usedfiretrucks.com, be sure to contact us today! Listing with Firetec is FREE, EASY and it WORKS! We pay for all advertising and only get paid if we sell your truck!
