Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Any 12-month-old tractors up for sale point to repossession or ex-demo fleet rather than a decision to remarket nearly new products. Yet operators big enough for mass purchases have realised there is a market for stock with warranty left on it.

PNO7 Gil has returned to the marketplace by a traditional route, and presents the manufacturer with a golden opportunity to show what can be done with a second-hand motor. The added extras make it the sort of vehicle an owner-driver, or a boss looking to reward a driver, would want.

It has to be said that for £74,500 you can buy something new, though not as stylish, but if you have money to reinvest into your haulage business why not treat yourself to something nice rather than donate your hard-earned cash to the government once you've announced your annual profits.

We liked the way the driveline and the transmission are set up; the 2.85 rearaxle ratio helped it generate a strong motorway fuel figure. It's a shame most operators would struggle to meet its price tag and fill those 970-litre fuel tanks.
