I have used one of these machines before.  They are simple to operate & to use.  Im pretty sure the vac blower is the same as the PC Performer.  Cleaned a nightclub with it in sheffield, heat didnt drop below 220 ATM, loads of vac ATW.  I think id b prepared to pay upto £1500 for it providing its working ok.

I have emailed the seller of this truckmount asking some questions about it.  He has replied telling me that they have a policy of not dealing with anyone unless they have 100% feedback.  I have had 1 person leave me negative feedback (and that was nearly 12 months ag) this was due to the fact she bought something off me without reading the advert properly that i had placed.   

Richie.
PS
This is the question i asked him;

Hi, Which make of engine is on this truckmount, is it the Onan air cooled? What vacuum blower make & model is it? How many owners? How many hours are on the clock? is the machine in full working order? Has it been protected against freezing temps this winter?

There's been better units sold for less, they haven't sold that unit in the UK for must be 6 or 7 years so it could be 10 years old.

This is what has surprised me Shaun,  Its not like its only 3 or 4 yrs old.  Its a fairly old unit and this is shown throught the design.  Cant believe the response i got.

Derek,
Have you asked the same questions that i asked him?

Steve,
After recieving his reply im gobsmacked and wouldnt even think about buying it. If someone asked me now about that unit id just tell them to stay clear of it.  Looking at his advert and his wording i bet he has not got a clue about truckmounts

ha ha ha ha ha.

and the reply

"Sorry, the machine is now under offer and we await cleared funds from the buyer unless someone presses “buy it now button” before mid morning tomorrow."


so basically someones bought it but until there funds are cleared, they don't mind taking another payment for it.
glad its not my funds waiting to clear.

whats the betting it will still be there after tomorrow morning and if not! it will be relisted at a later date.

avoid guys. wish i hadn't put the thread up now.
