Used cimex machine

[1st choice restoration]

Been looking at cimex machines and have a chance to buy a used one for $1600.00? It looks in pretty good shape. Would you save a thousand bucks and buy used or buy new for 2600.00. Those machines will last forever I've heard. Thoughts? Thanks

I'd grab it for that savings.

We sell the new ones - but I would recommend grabbing that used one fast - before someone else beats you to it.

As long as it truly is in decent condition; that's a great deal.

I hope it works out for you!

I need another Orbot or Vario. I think we are good on Cimex's for now.

Richard how old are all of ur cimex machines?? And have u ever had to change out any motors or any machines go down??

Man that's tough. I think our oldest I bought from Rick at Excellent Supply 8 years ago or so. The newest is less than a year old. Replaced 1-motor so far.

I started using the Dwellpro on a lot of jobs that I used to used the Orbot on. I carry the 360XL and even if I just pad a job out, I don't take the Orbot but do it with the 360XL and the pad driver.
And of course, now that we are talking about it...I'm going to need the Orbot on friday for a fair bit of padcapping.

LOL

Its always like that, its how we end up with so much stuff.

 

[Zee]

I wish I could carry both the 360XL and the Orbot..and the Dwellpro...and the truckmount...and the 175...and ...and...and... It is impossible to have everything all the time. And no I don't want a big box truck....I drove one for years and years....No thanks.

Get small box truck. A 12-ft Spartan would give you that room you desire and still feel a lot like a van. You'd also have the cab seperate from the box where the heat of the unit is.
