New & used utility vehicle pricing

Utility Vehicle | Buyer's Guide

Commercial utility vehicle pricing can vary quite a bit depending on the type of vehicle you choose. Stripped-down personnel carriers can be found for as little as $3,000, while fully configured burden carriers can reach $20,000. More common are prices of $8,000 to $12,000 for industrial utility vehicles. See actual prices BuyerZone users paid for new and used utility vehicles.

The more options you add, the more you’ll pay. Some models are open-topped, some have a roof, and some have a roof and a windshield. Expect to pay $200 to $400 for a top and that much again for a windshield. A rain enclosure – usually roll-down plastic sides – can be a nice extra in wet climates.

Buying used utility vehicles
For many businesses, buying used utility vehicles is the economical choice. There are two tiers of used: refurbished vehicles have been taken in by the manufacturer or dealer, inspected, cleaned, and in some cases reupholstered. Dealers often sell refurbished utility vehicles with warranties, giving you additional peace of mind – for at least 30 days.

You can also buy “as is” vehicles. Dealers will still inspect them for obvious damage, but they won’t have the comprehensive overhaul that a refurbished vehicle would have. Make sure you take a test drive of the model you want.

Used utility vehicles can be found for as little as $2,000. You’ll rarely find anything for much less than that – at least, not anything you’d want to depend on for transportation. You’ll still pay more for fancier models, but prices will be less than half what you’d pay new. Finding used gasoline utility vehicles can be a challenge, though, as owners tend to hang onto them until they're at the end of their useful life.
