Potentially, but a lower average may not qualify every used motor grader as a bargain. For contractors, fleet managers, rental businesses, and municipal buyers, the challenge is whether price, condition, hours, specification, and utilization constitute a viable business case. Market averages indicate direction, however individual machines decide value. That distinction is important in 2026, when purchasers become more choosy and new grading technology changes expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81

According to industry data, average used motor grader prices will reduce from $230,146 in January 2025 to $221,312 in September 2025, a 3.8% drop.
