I'm looking at some businesses to buy, one I'm looking at seriously has a good inventory of equipment, but I think the owner has it WAY overpriced. Does anyone have suggestions of good websites to look at? I've looked on Ebay, and done google searches...

Hunter P411 Alignment rack, 4 point rolling compensators, heads for alloy wheels

Hunter GSP 9700 tire balancer with road force

Hunter C3500 tire mounter

Several lifts from Rotary, Benwal, Forward, Gilbarkpo

Porsche (Bosch?) Hammer Diagnostic tool

Anyone with rough pricing on this stuff?

The Bosch Hammer can be had for $1500 all day from what I remember. Although that is usually only for a card and cable for one car, and I am not sure how much you are looking at for the cards. Used, of course.

Rotary lift = about $3500 installed, the others seem like lower name brands.

Gonna look in a catalog I got to see if it has the rest of the stuff in it.

*Edit*

I was gonna look online at the Rotunda catalog for the Ford dealers, but it is currently down. Usually their prices are a little higher than the local places though. I'm not sure how long it will be down for.

I think you can check northern tool (I think, maybe I have the name mixed up with another). Anyhow they sell auto equipment, paint booths, tools, alignment racks, frame jigs lifts and more. Good starting point to get an idea what all that costs retail - new.

The alignment rack is listed on the inventory at $55,000. Is that anywhere near the ball park? It's a Hunter P411, which seems to be an older model and I see used alignment racks for under $10k all the time... (and I'm not even looking)...

google for used machinery or used garage equipment.

There are several national dealers that post prices etc...

I have seen those racks for alot less used.
