Folks,



I am looking for used van to start mobile detailing. Which van should I get. Ideal price range not more than $6,000, but if it cannot be done. Willing to finance for better one up to $10,000.

Does Ford E250 commerical van sounds good? Thanks.
 
The E250 is fine , if you can get the extended one buy that . You can never have enough room.
 
while vans are nice a truckwith a utility body it great also. If you could find one an FD is getting rid of(tanks are left on) your really killing two birds with on stone. Anyways out in CA there are more brush type trucks so I would guess you could find a good deal on it. or look at used ambulances the deseil ones will go forever

LOL! Gives a new meaning to 'pressure washer'.:D
 
AFAIK, autopian "WCD" has an extended Express for sale. Had like 900 miles on it, was extremely well priced and some of the amenities a detailer could use. He's in SB. HTH.
 
First decided how much equipment your going to carry. Will you have a 50 gal tank or 225 gal? Will you reclaim? Full size extractor or portable? etc........



This will determine how much room you will need and how much weight you will be carrying.



With that info. you can then choose a vehicle to suit your needs.
