Bomag BW138 AD-5 price

Budget roughly $50,000–$70,000 for a new machine before attachments, delivery, and financing. (This range is interpolated from used-market data and class norms, as the manufacturer does not publish a public MSRP.) Used examples sell for meaningfully less depending on hours and condition.

New vs used & financing

Buying new gets you warranty, financing incentives, and top resale; used saves roughly 25–45% if you verify hours and service history. See our financing guide for loan and lease options and Section 179 tax treatment.

Rent or buy?

If your utilization is below ~60% (under ~12–14 days a month), renting usually costs less — check live rates and the break-even on rentd.
