That’s why we’ve put together seven of the most frequently asked questions about buying a semi truck – directly from our Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth customers. We’ll help you navigate inventory, financing, warranty coverage, and more from the experts who know best.

Buying a Semi Truck: Frequently Asked Questions

Do truck dealerships have both new and used trucks for sale?

Absolutely! Commercial truck dealerships typically stock both new and used trucks. For instance, our Coopersburg, PA and Swedesboro, NJ truck dealerships carry a wide range of new Kenworth models like the T680, T880, W900, W900L, and W990. Plus, we care used inventory from brands like Peterbilt, Mack, Freightliner, International, Western Star, and more.

Can I finance a new or used semi truck through a dealership?

Yes, most dealerships finance both new and used semi trucks. Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth offers financing on all of our heavy-duty trucks, regardless of the make or model. Plus, we offer flexible loan options that can include parts, accessories, insurance, and more. When you’re buying a semi truck, it’s smart to explore every option available. Just fill out our financing form to find the plan that fits your budget and needs best.

What is the best way to order parts for a semi-truck?

Ordering parts is easy! You can give us a call, order through the Online Parts Counter, or stop by one of our PA or NJ locations. Between Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth and TRP Pottstown, we carry a wide selection of OEM and all-makes parts which are backed by a nationwide warranty.

Can I reserve a Kenworth truck that’s not currently in stock?

Yes, if the truck you’re looking for isn’t on the lot, many dealerships – like Coopersburg Kenworth and Liberty Kenworth of South Jersey – can help you pre-order one that’s already on the way. Or, you can custom order one built to your exact specifications. Even if you’re in another state, we work with customers all over the U.S. and can arrange delivery right to your location. 

What kind of warranty comes with a new semi truck?

The warranty on a new semi truck depends on the model and is typically customized to match that vehicle’s specs. Our sales team can walk you through the factory warranty and any available extended coverage for the model you’re interested in. In some cases, our used trucks may still carry remaining engine or aftertreatment warranty coverage. If you’d like to learn more about warranty options for new or used commercial trucks, contact our sales team.
