What the mod does! So far.
What you get when you buy used:
- Out of production trucks are available more cheaply.
Truck names have been changed to reflect their pre-owned status.
Used trucks will not have zero miles on the odometer.
Mileages now range from 100,000 to 999,999 depending on age and use, and will contribute to condition factors (outlined below)
Condition! The used trucks will be available for less initial outlay, but this will be balanced by the fact that some will have high mileages when purchased and will range from reasonable to very poor condition. Some will be well maintained, but some may need a trip to the repair shop to freshen them up. Condition is reflected in the purchase price of the vehicle.
Maintenance! Be aware older trucks may have a lower price tag, but they will cost more to run. I have balanced the pricing by changing the prices of the components. Older engines and transmissions are invariably more expensive to maintain. (30-50% increase currently). Chassis/Body will be less expensive, to reflect availability of parts and ease of maintenance on older trucks. Wheel and tyre costs will remain about the same (costs of tyre wear and balancing/tracking is constant in new and old vehicles).

Progress
Volvo FH16. As it is one of the more desirable used trucks (with the 540hp engine, its a great starter truck) I have decided to make it at the top end of the used truck scale. It is generally considered to be a well maintained, low mileage example, like you would find "nearly new" at a Volvo Used Trucks Centre.
DAF XF EURO 5 is complete. A very popular used truck especially in the UK. It doesn't retain its value quite as well as its premium competitors so is available somewhat cheaper. Ages well. Average maintenance costs, low powered versions can be a bargain. Conditions are reasonable. Some extra options are available. This EURO 5 version is now available at any level.
The Actros MP3 is a good quality truck and is generally very reliable but as it went out of production in 2011 even the newest versions are around five years old. Premium versions are in good condition but budget options might have seen more wear. Mercedes maintenance is higher than average.
The Magnum is Renaults venerable big truck. Available in the same form from 1990 to 2013 the Magnum has been criticised for not matching up to the quailty of other trucks, yet is lauded for its longevity and ease of maintenance. It has strong engines and is cheap to run. It's the cheapest vehicle available in UsedTrucks and its base engine more powerful than competitors.
Renault Premium, after the addtion of the T-series inot the sim, it became obvious that the Renault Premium could sit in the middle of the range as a good condition used option. Not new but better than the Magnum. It costs more, but it will be cheaper to run.
Many requests for Scania R-series. I had my reasons for not including a Scania originally but a new addition to the game range (the 2016 SCANIA) meant it would be possible to add the R-series as a used option. This is the top of the class when it comes to used trucks, its more expensive than the others, but its a damn fine vehicle, and now available, low mileage and "almost new".
