The BR court will be looking to me for a bid on the equipment in the 6 bay SS car wash at question in the bank ruptsy case.
The equipment is 7-8 years old WindTrax stuff. Rowe Changer is in need of repair . 5 vacuums some need motors, Carpet Shampoo unit,seems ok , Normal stuff. Weeper system on the brush's . Some repairs are needed I am sure ??? What would one expect to get for such a set of equipment. I know, way more info would be helpfull but at what price would some of you be interested in bidding if it came up for auction.
I do know that the equipment new was right at 65 thousand . Now it is 7-8 years old and a pig in apoke.

Really low, shoot for double the price of what the bare stainless would cost ($5,000 maybe). Expect to have to replace every component on the equipment such as pumps, motors, timers, etc. Sounds like they've run it into the ground.

The 5K number sounds fairly reasonable. It is worth that to you because it is in place installed, and wired. I bet someone who has to remove it wouldn't give 2K for it at auction. We end up giving away most used equipment around here.
