Trade-Ins, Pre-Owned Vehicles, Rentals and Loaners

Trade-Ins, We Take ‘Em! Pre-Owned, We Got ‘Em! One of the questions we hear more and more regards whether or not Frazer will take a trade-in. The super short answer is “Yes!” we absolutely do.  While it’s true we’ve always been willing to work with customers on trade-ins, in reality it was never our first choice. For many years we just didn’t have the available personnel to deal with what can be a highly variable situation.  Early on we rarely got our own vehicles as trades. We weren’t particularly confident in our ability to value vehicles we didn’t build and, as a result, we typically recommended our customers try to sell the vehicle at auction or re-purpose what could be salvaged.  Over the last few years we’ve added to our sales staff allowing us to make far more trade-in offers to our customers. After more than 30 years of building EMS vehicles, we now see some of our own considered for trading in. Adding to that, just over a year ago our special projects guru, Herb Brady, took on the pre-owned vehicle process and does a great job keeping in touch with a host of people looking for solid options of that type. If you’re in the market for a pre-owned vehicle, please reach out to Herb at 888-372-9371. Other Trade-In Considerations A municipality trading in an item is a valid option for asset liquidation in most states. A number of organizations opt to auction off their vehicles as a standard process. But some entities believe they MUST offer the item at auction.  Unless there is some local rule for asset disposal that supersedes state regulations, you should be able to take advantage of a trade-in. The amount offered for the used vehicle comes straight off the bottom line of your purchase price and is clean and transparent for your balance sheet. As with any decision governed by a set of statutes, make sure to verify your own state codes. We love the opportunity to get some of our own equipment back during the upgrade cycle, and we have a healthy list of customers who love to find those. But we take other manufacturer’s vehicles as well. Valuations and offers will always be contingent on mileage and condition of the truck and module. If you would like to consider combining a trade-in with your next vehicle purchase, please give one of our sales team a call at 888-372-9371. Rentals Frazer is happy to offer some of our pre-owned vehicles for rent. Unexpected issues happen and we want to be able to help when needed. All vehicles have to pass a Texas State Inspection and we go over them extensively in our service shop before releasing them for use.  Though these vehicles are subject to availability, when we have them we can work with both short term and longer term rentals. Our book rate for rentals is $150.00 per day. Anything at or over 7 days bills at $700.00 per week. Loaners If you’re having a warranty issue we need to take care of for you, we can offer the same fleet of rental vehicles on loan while the work is in progress. As with rentals, loaners are subject to availability. You can call 888-372-9371 and direct your inquiries to Herb Brady in Sales or to Bert Jones, our VP of Service.

It’s Ordering Time!

Is that a hint of cold in the air? Are the leaves starting to change colors? Is that football on TV? As the calendar rapidly approaches October and Fall is right around the corner that can only mean one thing, it’s ordering season for a vast majority of our Fire and EMS customers. If you don’t live in Texas, or most places in the south, you may actually be feeling that first brisk bit of chill in the air. Sadly, fall weather is still just a far off dream for us.  And while it’s still aggressively hot here, the end of the year is also the hottest time for orders. Most everyone has worked out budget numbers and knows what capital purchases they have planned for the next fiscal year. So what does that mean for you? We Have the Trucks! Current average lead time is 12-15 weeks for Ford, Chevy, and Ram. International and Freightliner lead times will fluctuate on a case by case basis depending on the particular options selected. Timing is Everything The other major consideration for anyone planning to place orders after October 1, will be how quickly you are able to get those orders sent to your builder. Whether working with Frazer or with someone else, the orders will be fast and furious and there will be many. The high volume and concentration can easily result in lead times increasing by 50% over the rest of the year. Frazer realizes that for some the process of getting an order from council approval to a firm PO occasionally poses some challenges. If you find yourself in a situation where that process is hindering your ability to get on our production schedule, a Letter of Intent from your agency can speed that up while you wait on the grinding gears of bureaucracy. Please reach out to one of our sales team at 888-372-9371 to make sure you have everything you need to move forward with your next purchase. They can also help walk you through any other possible ways to ensure your spot in line.  If you’re still gathering information on your next purchase, please click here for more information. Go Astros! We just put that in here because we can.
