Buying a Karcher Honda Washer. Advice?

[Inferno]

Karcher 3000 PSI Pressure Washer with Honda 6HP Engine
Runs and works great. Bought new for $400, asking $200 cash only.

Okay, so i'm going tomorrow to look at this pressure washer. I've never owned a washer, so what should I be looking for besides leaks and that it's working? It looks to have the original wand which has 1/4 quick disconnect correct? So I should be safe with also purchasing this MTM Hydro MTM Hydro 14.0263 - Long-Range Detergent Foamer Attachment . Any other suggestions or tips?

Sorry I know there's a couple Pressure washer threads out there already but I want to buy this tomorrow!! Thanks:dblthumb2:

anything over 1700ish psi and over 2gpm should work for our purposes. As far as the MTM I have one on a 1700psi unit and the function itself is barely above gimmick state imo. Its def cool to cover a carin foam and get a pre-wash routine to loosen any dirt etc but its its usually over kill but for cool forum pics to share

Dont get me wrong I think its cool and has a purpose in a full "detail" but at the end of the day we did without for years.

In terms of a washer for general use in our business, that thing looks nice

Thanks, I'm really looking for the washer because I could sure use it around the house for other purposes as well.

Hope this helps.

DONT BUY IT had one they have a tapperd shaft for the pump and the spline come off of it all the time.5.5 6.0s are no good move up to a 11hp and then you can buy new pumps and rebilud them also. If you let it run and dont pull the trigger it will blow the o rings in the pump on the 5.5 and 6.0 hp but on the 11 hp there is a reless and the water come out the side and the pump stays ok.

Great! Thanks for that info! I will go ahead and pass on this. I'll look into a Karcher X series instead.
