Congratulations! I have always heard that the two best days at the car wash is the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Hope you enjoy yourself.

I’m just about to the point of hanging up it also. After 32 years we’re pretty much fed up with the customers, the theft, vandalism etc. Last year I had the police to my wash 14 times. My problem is the property is worth more without the car wash on it, so to sell it and get a decent price I’ll have to remove the car wash.

Sounds too familiar , and like your self, the property is more valuable without the Carwash .

maybe get a price to remove building and equipment and use that as a point in calculating asking price. you're smart so you probably already know this.

That's probably true with most of the washes around here. The dirt is worth more for apartment development.
