Silva lining for owner-driver with used Scania

Barking, Essex-based Da Silva Transport has taken delivery of a used Scania R 440 Highline, fulfilling owner-driver Marcus Da Silva’s ambition to start his own business.

The vehicle was sourced through Scania Direct, which gives operators a single point of contact for all Scania used stock, and financed by Scania Finance GB, including a tailored R&M package.

Scania’s used sales team supports the Scania Direct division by offering a consultancy service, helping to source the right finance and maintenance, as well as vehicle spec.

“The fact that I could do everything in one place made things a lot simpler,” says Da Silva.

“The used sales staff at Scania Purfleet were super friendly and helpful from the first time that I went to look at used trucks last year. You feel like they’re happy to go out of their way to make sure that you’re happy.”
