Actually, most three-year-old units are always able to maintain 60 percent of their initial cost, an impressive ratio in an industry where depreciation is unpredictable and highly dependent on market cycles. It is not only due to brand reputation, but also a combination of global demand, strong dealer support, robust parts supply, and Caterpillar&#8217;s highly reliable Certified Rebuild program. To buyers, contractors, and rental companies, these benefits translate to fewer risks and greater financial performance in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

The buyers are more assured to buy a used CAT grader since they are sure that it can be repaired to almost new condition, and it can be bought at a fraction of the price of a new machine. This puts upward pressure on the resale prices and increases the confidence of the lenders. Rebuildable graders are considered to be a less risky investment by leasing companies, rental houses, and also by contractors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Durability_and_Performance_Factors_That_Sustain_Value\"><\/span><b>Durability and Performance Factors That Sustain Value<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillar graders are known to survive the most demanding working environments with minimum mechanical stress compared to most of the competing products. The engine and the powertrain are designed to run on long duty cycles, and the operators always commend the balance, blade control, and responsiveness of the machine. The initial 5,000\u20138,000 hours performance degradation curve is much slower than what the buyers anticipate with other brands. This implies that used graders are introduced into the market having a longer useful life, and thus value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Auction_Trends_and_Buyer_Behavior_Driving_Higher_Prices\"><\/span><b>Auction Trends and Buyer Behavior Driving Higher Prices<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consistent_Auction_Demand\"><\/span><b>Consistent Auction Demand<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sale of CAT 140 units is faster and with a narrower price range.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The international consumers are very aggressive on 3\u20135 year-old units.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased liquidity compared to rival models.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brand_Perception_and_Psychological_Value\"><\/span><b>Brand Perception and Psychological Value.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cCAT effect\u201d is real.
