Think you could be right mate :

With only a few weeks to the new yr and with jan and feb coming up think there wil be some set ups going.

Its a good clean set up the one that derek posted but wants near the buy it now price..

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Its all very well saying oh!!!! they cost this and that new yes but it's NOT NEW it's SECONDE HAND that means if things go wrong no back up the price wanted is to high and if it is such a good thing why is he selling £13,000.00 is a lot of money.
ps. MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR  : : : : : :

Tony

Am thinking the same as you trouble is the venor has other things in mind

I did speak to the vendor and even the turbo dryer was worth over 300 pounds in there minds :

Hi

Can it be arranged for a leasing company to buy s/h gear like this & lease it back at approx £250/£300 a month.

I dont know a lot about leasing but that would be a good deal i think.

Dave

[Mike Osbourne]

£300? He's having a laugh.

Even a good 1.5hp sanil isn't 250

[clinton]

David

Do you use a truck mount mate

Good idea that leasing deal

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

The other BIG thing to remember is that if you do buy something as expensive as this make sure there is no outstanding HP on it as it would still belong to the finance company and you could be left with sweet fanny adams. That means sod all if the person selling it did not clear what was outstanding when they sold it.

[Mike Osbourne]

That's a good point Tony. Is the guy 'known'?

[clinton]

Your right tony on that.

Think it was dave p who was looking fora new van and he saw one on a dealer forcourt and it was still on hp when he had it checked

Woul be much better from someone from the forum if we were going for aa upgrade thats used as least we know some a little bit more about the history of the sale

[Mike Osbourne]

On TM's they were saying a new 318 is 10k with essentials and vat, wonder if it's gone up with exchange rate or gone down cos they need to shift some?

[David_Annable]

Mike

What i'm saying is if you can get a lease company to buy a second hand TM and van for say 11K and lease it back for a resonable sum, instead of buying new.

Dave

[Mike Osbourne]

I get it Dave.

Takes the edge of the monthly payments and you get a bit of piece of mind. It's not like there's an AA inspections for Truckmounts- or is there?

[clinton]

Do you think there are some wit hp still being sold

[Mike Osbourne]

Worrying isn't it

[clinton]

Never really thought about that on c cleaning t mounts

Know it goes of on vehicles and also bikes :

[Buster Ingram]

Guy's  With view to the reason why this is up for sale I have taken this posting from another board so we all know a little history on this item,

well it didnt sell, best offer was £10,100,  I did have a chat with the lady whos selling it, her husband bought the van + machine new from H/M at a cost of £28k
He has since passed away and that is the reason for selling.
I did have a brief chat with H/M and they do a new van with 318 for around 20k at mo.
I still think 10k is a fair price considering risidual price of vans is low at mo, and as someone else said i think that van would cough abit with all the weight in! LWB would have been far better

[clinton]

Dave

Your right on this one and i did also spoke to the lady who is selling the set up and she does seem genuine and am sure if even the vehicle was hpi,d it would come up clean

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

I am sure she is a lovely peson but just remember this if he spent 28k on it and the machine has hardley done any work how was it bought 28k cash i don't think so. The only point i am making is make sure and not only the van.
Must GO or i will be late and that won't look good
