Questions we are asked
Questions buyers ask us about this particular CAT 320D.
About the CAT 320D
Is the CAT 320D worth buying second hand?+
Yes. A 320D at 480 hours with the original engine is an unusual thing to find, and the D series is simple enough that a good local mechanic can look after it without dealer software.
What jobs does the CAT 320D handle best?+
Bulk excavation, footings, site clearance and loading trucks. It is a general purpose machine that will not run out of capability on a normal building site.
Where do I get spare parts for a CAT 320D?+
Because the 320D shares much of its driveline with other Cat 300 series machines, parts are both easy to find and often cheaper than people expect for a Caterpillar.
How do I know the hours shown on the CAT 320D is real?+
480 hours is the reading and we will send you a picture of it. The undercarriage on this machine is consistent with a low hour unit.
Can I buy the CAT 320D today?+
Yes. At this price a low hour 320D does not usually sit for long, so confirm with us before making arrangements.
Price and payment
What is the price of this CAT 320D?+
USD 35,000 FOB Qingdao, as is. It is the lowest price on our list for a genuine low hour Caterpillar twenty tonner.
Why is this CAT 320D priced lower than a dealer machine?+
It is the cheapest way we know to get a real low hour Cat. At USD 35,000 you are paying roughly Chinese machine prices for a Japanese built Caterpillar.
Who receives payment for the CAT 320D?+
Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States invoices machines held in China. The paperwork reaches you before the money leaves you.
Do you get CAT 320D machines in often?+
Yes. Japanese built Cat machines are our most requested category, and we buy them continuously rather than occasionally.
Shipping the CAT 320D
What is the best way to ship a CAT 320D overseas?+
The 320D ships either in a container after dismantling or on a flat rack as it stands. Which one is cheaper depends on your port, so we price both if it helps.
What will freight on the CAT 320D come to?+
It depends on your port and the method you choose. We will price the container option and the flat rack option so you can compare properly.
Checking it before you buy
Can you send video of the CAT 320D running?+
Yes. We can send close pictures of the tracks, the idlers, the pins and the engine, and film it working if you prefer moving images.
Can somebody check the CAT 320D on my behalf?+
Yes. Come and see it in Qingdao or send an independent inspector. Either is normal and neither causes us any difficulty.
Do you have anything similar to the CAT 320D?+
If a Cat is beyond the budget, a Chinese or Korean machine of the same size costs less. Tell us the number you are working to and we will be straight with you.
