I concur.
But...
1. Bank will give better rates on new equipt vs. old. If they will even let you finance used equipt.
2. Some equipt has so many new features or better engineering then it's 3 year old predecessor that it may cost you more in lost time over it's useful lifetime then you'll save at purchase.
3. You have to be careful buying used equipt. It may be abused, improperly maintained or worse. Downtime may cost you more than you save.
Sometimes used equipt is the way to go, sometimes it's not.
