applicable ; 4x4 driveline , where applicable ; and any other special needs your department may have for the new apparatus .
Once these items have been reviewed , the final proposal — including required certifications and warranties — is formally submitted to your department for validation and approval . If you award the contract to Metalfab , everyone signs , a purchase order is issued , and payment options are discussed .
Payment Options
The average price of a custom fire truck is $ 400,000 plus tax . This is a substantial investment for any department , so Metalfab makes it easier by offering a series of payment options to help you disperse your obligations throughout the manufacturing process as needed .
Chassis Net 10 , Body and Equipment COD
Using this method , payment for the chassis is made upon its arrival at the Metalfab factory . The remainder is paid upon delivery . Our customers often enjoy this option because it is cost-effective and frees up cash flow later on in the process . However , some customers find it difficult to arrange two separate payments and opt to pay a lump sum instead .
Chassis , Body and Equipment COD
With this option , payment is made all at once at the time of delivery . It ’ s convenient in that it ’ s a one-time payment . However , we do require a small amount of interest on the carrying cost of the chassis from the time of its arrival in our facility to delivery .
Lease
Metalfab ’ s fire truck lease option is not what you think it is . Leasing is commonly understood as borrowing an asset , which is often associated with high borrowing costs and returning the asset after a predetermined period of time . At Metalfab , we do things differently . We offer a flexible payment plan , a variety of terms , and lease options that span for about 10 years followed by a buyout where the apparatus is transferred into your department ’ s name .
Prepayments
Some of our chiefs opt to pay a small amount at the time the order is signed to make for smaller payments in the end . This is often preferred by departments who have done fundraising for the new apparatus in advance .
Holdbacks
With a holdback , a percentage of cost is held back at the time of delivery and paid at a later date . We determine the percentage and rate of interest on a case-by-case basis , so talk to us to learn more about what we can offer for your situation .
