Looking to buy some used equipment located in Mass or someplace else. Any members that could look it over for me? Would pay for your time and expenses.

Well the deal went to hades in the proverbial hand basket. Seller is a jerk who doesn’t really want to sell.

The joys of buying 2nd hand! ;)

From my experience in engineering and project management outside the carwash industry, buying 2nd hand always looked pretty appealing, and turned out to be really challenging.

It is not for the inexperienced or timid.

Well you guys were right. Getting anything has changed. Suppliers can’t give delivery dates. Used stuff is spotty at best. What seemed like simple changes turned into never ending chores. So I decided it will be much easier to just clean up and keep the old. No concrete cutting that way and reopen much quicker.
