Besides new implements, banks also provide financing for secondhand ones but they tend to apply a higher interest rate and the term of the loan will be shorter.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Resale value and depreciation analysis<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The worst value drop happens in the first two years.
