What's a fair price for a 2018 Cat 320D with 5,800 hours?
Expect roughly USD 48,000–55,000 FOB Shanghai for a well-inspected 2018 Cat 320D at ~5,800 genuine hours. The full 320D range in our stock runs USD 28,000–65,000 depending on year, hours, and attachments.
The headline number
For a 2018 Caterpillar 320D at roughly 5,800 genuine hours with a clean 150-point report, our buyers typically land between USD 48,000 and 55,000 FOB Shanghai. That sits in the upper-middle of the 320D's full range of USD 28,000–65,000 — the bottom end is older or higher-hour units, the top end is late-model, low-hour machines.
What moves the price
- Year and series — a 320B or 320C costs less than a 320D or 320D2 GC.
- Genuine hours — hours rollback is common; a verified 5,800-hour machine is worth more than a "5,800-hour" unit with a tampered meter.
- Undercarriage wear — track and sprocket condition can swing value by thousands.
- Attachments — a bucket is standard; hammer piping, quick-couplers, or a long reach add cost.
How we price it
We don't quote until the 150-point inspection is done — engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, paint thickness, and hours verification all feed the number. You get a price that reflects the machine you're actually buying, not a catalogue guess.
Does the FOB price include shipping?
No. FOB means the machine is loaded at a Chinese port — ocean freight and marine insurance are extra. Ask for a CIF quote if you want freight and insurance included to your destination port.
Can you get a cheaper Cat 320D?
Yes — older or higher-hour 320D units start around USD 28,000. The trade-off is remaining component life and parts spend, so we show you the inspection report before you decide.
Is the price negotiable?
There is typically some room depending on payment terms — a full T/T wire or confirmed L/C is stronger than a partial deposit. We quote honestly up front and keep the margin narrow.
