Interesting observation that poor sales over past 5-6 years has limited the supply of quality used units to market.
It was for this very reason that we created the strategy of an internal annual investment in new units for our STH fleet.- in effect to generate a pool of used units for INTERNAL offer to customers and in so doing corner the market with a quality supply source.
Having done this we can offer customers a varied solution with a new, 1year old, 2 year old, 3.4.5 year old unit and tailor the package to suit
Nice to know that the strategy had some foundation
