'High demand from buyers' Manheim Auctions has found new homes for 40 Actroses in the past 12 months, most of them supplied through contract-hire and leasing companies. Typical Actros buyers range from franchised and independent dealerships to rental companies.
"As one of the flagship tractor units at auction, the Mercedes-Benz Actros 2546 6x2 is in high demand from buyers," says CV sales director Alex Wright. This trend has been consistent over the past year and particularly prominent in the past six months. All vehicles tend to sell first time at auction and make strong prices.
"Buyers will seek out highspecification vehicles such as the MegaSpace cab over the standard Long Distance cab models, due to their desirability for retail and rental customers.
Used examples have attracted attention from buyers all over the country. In a sale at the end of 2006 at Manheim Glasgow a batch of vehicles were purchased by entirely English buyers, showing the lengths buyers will go to get their hands on one."
Typical auction values: • Actros up to 20 months old with 119,000km: £42,600 • Actros 21-30 months old with 271,000km: £30,000 • Actros 31-50 months old with 358,000km: £20,000
