That seems fairly reasonable if the business has a good reputation. I don't know how business a mobile detail shop can produce, but I imagine a good one could easily make that up in a month or so?

You're really not buying a business. Just the equipment. It mentions nothing about revenue/sales? I think all that stuff for $30K is a rip off.

Wow for 30k I better get a lot of clientele. All that equipment isn't worth that, you could get all that for way cheaper. Plus you have to see how the business name is, if there are a lot of people that dislike or have had bad experiences then thats not going to be too good for you since you will take over the name

Having an Idea of who it is, I would pass. You could set your self up with that rig for about 12-15 if you went mild on a few things.

I doubt he's giving you a solid repeat clientèle list.

Aaron it sounded a lot like your rig! I thought for a moment maybe you have given up the ghost on detailing

Cheers,
