New, used, and leased copier prices from BuyerZone buyers

• New copier purchase prices
• Refurbished copier purchase prices
• Copier lease prices

We regularly survey BuyerZone users to ask how their purchases went. We've used their most recent responses to provide a sampling of actual prices that businesses paid for their digital copiers depending on their budget.

You generally have three options when you shop for a digital copier based on what you can afford to spend and how long you plan to keep the copier:

• Buy new copiers – A new copy machine provides the latest technology that should last you for several years, but you’ll pay the most out of pocket. Your costs will increase as you select faster speeds, more memory, and other features.
• Buy refurbished copiers – Refurbished machines are usually fixed up to work as good as new. You may spend 20% to 30% less than a new copier, but you typically get only a 30-day warranty and existing mileage means it may not be as reliable as a new model.
• Lease new copiers – You’ll make monthly payments and get potential tax breaks, but interest charges will cost you more over time. Leasing lets you decide what you want to do with the copier at the end of term (purchase, return, or trade in).

Copier dealers may also offer a maintenance agreement as part of your purchase or lease, or provide one for an additional fee. A maintenance agreement helps keep your copier up and running, and covers parts and labor costs if the machine copier breaks down.
