Any businesses out there that refurbish and sell used Bobcats?

I am surprised that dealerships don't have more used machines. Is anyone aware of businesses that specialize in cleaning up and selling used skid steers?

There are a few out there, but the profits are small if they are going out the door fixed right. I think thats why dealers dont have alot of used machines. If they need anything major, they can quickly have more in them than they are worth. You see machines advertised all the time from dealers that need major work, they just cant make the numbers work.

I have noticed they really only seem to deal in late model machines too. If it's old, they really don't want it as a trade.
I remember when Mark worked for IM bobcat, they had a department that pulled old machines down and sold them as parts. I don't know if it was profitable or not for them.
