Came across this for sale on Ebay. I would'nt like them to clean my carpets. The equipment on offer is as weak as the van.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Carry-Van-2003-Carpet-Cleaning-Business-99p-/320744174454?pt=UK_Commercial_Trucks&hash=item4aadd7b376

The listing reads earn £500+ per day (puzzi 100 & vax shampooer)

That's a brilliant van ...............I've been using one for about 4 years ( but with proper cleaning machines ) and it's popular with the biggest carpet cleaning franchise in the world.

Be interesting what the conversion to the van is, just looks like an empty van to me with a puzzi and vax in it  ;D

Its  a bit sad hes spent all that money and not done any research into what a proper carpet cleaning business is all about  ???

Mpg must be fantastic, the payload (kg) 577 which is'nt too bad. Ok the van gets off, but can you run a professional carpet cleaning business with those machines? probly not.

Last month this person sold a similar van  A Mobile Catering Van that they bought for their Mum to start a mobile catering business but only earning £450 a day

Unfortunate mum has ill health so could not start

If it is a member of the Forum you have my deepest symphony suffering so much bad luck ;D ;D ;D

As you can see from the pictures, the van is truly immaculate inside and out.

But I'd call the Police if I were him......looks like someone has pinched the engine :D

Looks like he only paid £899 for the van. He claims to have spend in excess of £4000 on this "project" That vax,puzzi & signage sure were expensive  ;D
