A used vending machine quote should tell you more than the purchase price. Before committing to equipment from OnCan, collect enough detail to compare the machine, its condition and the costs of putting it into service.

Identify the exact machine

  • Ask for the manufacturer, model, serial number and available age information.
  • Confirm whether the machine is used, refurbished or sold as-is.
  • Request current photographs and a list of repairs or replacements already completed.
  • Ask what testing was performed and which faults, if any, remain.

Do not assume two machines with the same model number include the same controller, reader or refrigeration components. Have the seller describe the specific unit on your quote.

Separate equipment from delivery and setup

Ask for a written breakdown of the machine, accessories, delivery, placement and setup. Check whether stairs, a loading dock or restricted access affect the delivery arrangement. Confirm the dimensions with the person responsible for the location.

Check support before comparing payments

Ask what warranty is included, who handles repairs and whether parts are available. Confirm cashless-reader compatibility and any separate account requirements. Request a demonstration of the features you need before accepting the unit.

Prepare your financing request

Keep the quote, seller details and intended equipment location together. Explain whether this is your first machine, a replacement or an addition to an existing route. Mehmi Financial Group can review your request and identify any further information needed. Equipment condition and lender requirements can affect the available options.

BDC's equipment financing guide is a general reference on financing an equipment purchase. Its products and terms are not a quote from Mehmi.

Explore financing for your OnCan purchase. Financing is subject to credit and lender approval. Confirm current inventory directly with OnCan.
