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. |

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups
Thu, Aug 1 2019DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
