    I found a 2002 namco with a kohler 25 hp and a 65,000 btu propane heater. The unit has 500 hours. It comes with a 100 gal waste tank, 12 wand, shelves, 150 of hose (vacuum and solution) hose reel. Anybody know about what this is worth.

    Why not get a reconditioned system with a warranty for that kind of money...?

    the waste tank if it came from namco is 85 gallon. If the 2002 model has the engine on the left side of the machine and the has a belt run of 47 to 52 inches. YOu will have some belt issues. When replacing the belts on a namco very hard to line up correctly,. A 5 year old machine 500 hours I say it more than lily has 1500 hours. Hour meters have a tendency to not work correctly . I would offer about 3500.00 for it.

    I'm all about saving $$ but if you cut corners and just all around want to be cheap ? then in the end ( you get what you pay for ) it will pay for it in repairs and parts and the big one DOWN TIME .

    Save up get a good one and make a plan to get just what you want

    I did just that .. Took 3 years of saving and planning .. If I can do it any one can :)
