now for a real reply ,

 were in the same boat as you , when we kit our carpet cleaning vans out from new we get a bill of just over 50k this is all new and the way we want it and after three years there worth  18k-24k if were lucky depending on the miles the van as on ect ect and that's if we can find a buyer , normally we just pull the truckmount out and put in a brand new van and make it go again for three more years to make it pay for itself again

your not going to get a massive amount for it unless you can arrange a payment plan with a third party this would make it easyer to sell and would make it easyer for them to buy over a few years

like with us and our c.c. vans your wash system is great but only better on a very few jobs as 99% of the time you can get the same results with a home made system as you can with your all singing all dancing unit it just takes longer

ive been watching them over the years and the prices are all over the place on ebay from 900-3500k and I see the same ones getting relished time and time again so I gess its luck of the draw

I'm thinking maybe Darren has been offered that system as a px against one of his new softwash systems. If so then the first thing I would check is there any remaining finance on it. Would then want  to inspect and test it properly to make sure all the components are working as they should including the ppb filters, hot water side etc. If not then find out cost to get it all up together to sell on. Then consider to make a px offer so could sell it on at a decent profit and still be quids in on selling a new softwash system.

Still it all sounds a lot of hassle to me as what will all the implications of a reseller selling used kit.

Who spends 15 grand on a van mount.

I hope you don't get much for it to teach you a lesson about wasting money.

15 grand mental

Thats got to be the most pathetic post i've ever read on here, what a stupid thing to say 
I guess it depends on how much your prepared to loose on it really to see if its worth selling, you never know you might need it sometime in the future. It really is only worth what someone is willing to pay i guess, or see what Ionics sell refurbished models for (if they do) and base it from that.

got to agree if all was working on it I would be happy to give 2k for it leaving a bit back for fillers and to get the heater reworked if needed this alone could run into many 100s of pounds , sometime trade ins can be more hassle then there worth as when you trader sells the unit on it got to be right as theres no thing as sold as seen anymore when your a trader

Still doesn't make sense if you change a few letters around 🤦‍♂️

I can't see the point in all this bickering.  About time you all grow up and respect peoples views no matter how daft they may seem at the time.

If I was looking to buy a large, hot system from a reputable manufacturer then X-line offer a 750 litre, 2 man system for about 7K plus VAT. That includes fitting and I am guessing a warranty etc. They look very good bits of kit.
Bearing in mind I could buy that brand new and fitted, I might be swayed to look at your system for around 4-4.5K.
That's just my opinion.

What do you get for 15 grand?

Is the 15 grand over 5 years?

Makes you wonder don't it.

15 grand for some would get them a van, kitted out with a system and carbon poles, electric reels and a pressure washer n fsc from bens as well. Oh and an heating element installed or a gas heater for hot on demand........but i guess that might be just my thinking on it

[windowswashed]

You might be lucky to get £500 for tank and £500 for heater unit, never recover the cost or come close to half decent resale value

I think the main problem you've got here is that you have a very limited market due to the size of the system, the large majority of window cleaners don't have or need a van that will carry 1000 litres. IMO you would be better phoning some big commercial window cleaning companies and see if you have any luck with them.
