Important Notice

All vehicle auctions are held exclusively online. Since we work with trusted vendors and partners across the country, vehicles are located at different facilities, so in-person inspections or visits before purchase are not available.

To help buyers make informed decisions, we provide detailed vehicle descriptions and CARFAX Report along with high-quality photos and videos for every listing. In addition, each vehicle listed on Biltmore Motors undergoes a thorough verification process to ensure authenticity and quality.

If you have any questions regarding a specific vehicle, our team will be happy to assist you with additional information whenever possible.

Free delivery is available within a limited distance after purchase. Additional mileage beyond the included range will be charged at a fixed rate per mile.

Description

2023 Caterpillar 308CR Mini Excavator — 365 Hours
With only 365 hours on the meter, this 2023 Cat 308CR mini excavator is in excellent, near-new condition. Built on Caterpillar’s compact radius design, this zero-tail-swing-style machine is ideal for working efficiently in tight spaces without sacrificing performance. Power comes from the Cat C3.3B diesel engine — a 3.3L, 4-cylinder unit producing 54.6 kW — paired with a hydrostatic travel system featuring two-speed travel and a straight-travel function for precise, controlled movement.
The enclosed cab offers air conditioning and heat for year-round comfort, along with a backup camera for enhanced visibility and a pattern changer to match operator preference.
This unit is fully loaded for versatile work, including:
Standard two-way auxiliary hydraulics
Removable counterweights for flexible transport and job configurations
90″ backfill blade
Boom swing for offset digging
7’9″ stick with Caterpillar hydraulic quick coupler and Caterpillar hydraulic thumb
Dual buckets — WBM 41″ bucket with bolt-on cutting edge, and a Caterpillar 24″ bucket with 4 teeth
Riding on 18″ wide steel tracks with triple grouser pads and rubber track pads, this machine offers both strong traction and surface protection, making it suitable for finished-grade and hardscape work as well as rougher terrain.

Sealed auction

This is a sealed-bid auction. Every participant submits a private bid, and no one can see competing amounts while bidding is open.

You may bid on multiple lots, but you can win only one: the lot where your highest sealed bid was placed. That winning amount is what you pay.

If two identical sealed bids are placed on the same lot, the earlier bid takes priority for that lot. After the auction closes, winners are notified with payment instructions.
