I bought this Van & truckmount because I was going to compliment my air duct cleaning business with carpet cleaning deals... something like, get our air duct cleaning package and we'll do your carpets for free.  I had a portable but decided to go for the truckmount.  I became certified by the IICRC in carpet cleaning and then decided that I just don't want to go down that route.  I want to stick to duct cleaning only and want to buy a box truck and thus, I need to get rid of this van & truckmount.

Ok, I bought this van with completely serious mojo for it to be reliable for years to come.  There's a massive amount of work and newer parts in this van.  Here's a list of parts and cost (including labor):
New catalytic converter ... $400
New center pipe ... $60
New muffler... $200
New tailpipe ... $45

New computer board (includes diagnostics)  $250

New distributer (not just the distributer cap & rotor but includes the actual distributer)... $170
New plugs and wires (tune-up)... $100 
New fuel filter... $45
New air filter... $15

Oil change/filter & PVC valve... $40

New windshield ...$300 (not shown in picture because it is currently being arranged)

New axle ...$250

Ok, with all of these new parts, it might as well be a new van!.  I spent well over $1500 and this vehicle passed emissions as well.  Engine looks very clean.  Previously it was being used in Oklahoma which is where I purchased it from.  I'm assuming not much weatherization (as compared to the northeast regions) but the van runs great & the transmission is smooth.  I was almost tempted to just sell the truckmount & equipment and use the van for the air duct cleaning but I decided that it's too much of a hassle and I want the bigger box truck.  I also got a brand new clear title and as I mentioned, it passed the emissions test.  O, did I mention that BEFORE all that work, I DROVE the van all the way from Oklahoma!  With all of the work done, it's in excellent condition.  BTW, the van also has brackets for ladders on its roof.

TRUCKMOUNT:

Ok, as for the truckmount carpet cleaning machine, it's a Panther 14 with the Kohler motor.  It has the recovery tank and filter.  It comes with reel that holds a 100 foot hose and solution hose.  It does not have a fresh water tank but you could easily mount one.  The previous owner was using a hose to connect to faucets for fresh water.  That hose is also included and reeled on the back door.  

Now, here is the condition of the machine.  The person who sold it to me, was using it before he sold it.  It was in complete working order and ready to go.  Just to be sure, I made him start the machine and it started right up.  However, it has been sitting and not used for nearly a year.  I also do not know anything about truckmount carpet cleaning machines.  I know a lot about air duct cleaning machines but nothing about truck mounts, including this one.  I called the number on it & they were readily available & willing to guide me through its operation but ever since I decided to not do carpet cleaning, I really don't want to waste any time at all on the machine.  I was told by the previous owner that not many hours are on it and I took a pic of that dial but again, I have no clue as to how any of it works and hesitate to even start it (I fear, like power washers, that unless u have water running through them, you could damage it?)... so until I am sure 100%, I left it in the same exact condition that I received it in, which was eye witnessing that it worked... ever since then, I just left it as-is & that's exactly how I am selling it... as-is.  I guestimated that the machine, recovery tank and reel (with hoses) alone cost approximately $4000 (dismounted, since it would probably cost like $700 just to install these in any vehicle).  

The thing that the van needs is a door key.  I only have the ignition key.  It costs about $70 to make a door key by a lock smith.  I drive the van on the average, once a week for 30 mins to make sure that it stays in good running order and the battery charged.  The van with all the new parts & labor, has more value to me than would be listed in blue book.  The van alone (without the truckmount & equipment) in my view should be worth at least $3000.  With the truckmount & equipment, I thing it should list for $5000 to $6000.  Anyhow, I kept the min. bid very low because I want to sell it fast without issues.  You are more than welcome to check it out but it's a great van and thus being sold as-is.  Good luck!!!

One final thing.  I am NOT a new ebay-er.  I used to have an account with hundreds of transactions and rating over 98%.  However, it's been like 2 years since I did any obeying and lost the old account.

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.

GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards

Tue, Dec 5 2017

DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year

Mon, Nov 9 2015

With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
