It's not too far from me and and the washer itself appears to be already outside and not in the basement (which I consider to be a good thing so that I don't have to haul it out of the basement).

But... the seller might be a bit on the hillbilly side because when I asked for the model number, he replied with, "it's a maytag."

Todd,

That is not a Peforma Maytag. Performas had the thick top on them. They were Norges built at the Searcy Arkansas plant.

Todd didn't say it was a Performa. He said it was a DC with the Performa name on it. That's how these machines were sold for a while.

Once Runematic mentioned Performa, I used the custom Google Search option on this website and came across a previous discussion:

Looks very similar to a LAT2500AAE? If that's the case, it looks like a decent washer with:

*Infinite Water Level

Mini
Small
Large
Oversize
Reset

*Second Rinse ON/OFF

*Wash/Rinse Temp
Hot/Cold
Warm/Warm
Warm/Cold
Cold/Cold

It's a true Maytag if it has the porcelain tub.  I had a secretary who bought one of these as it was one of the last of the true Maytags.  If it's a plast4ic tub, it's a NorgeTag.

Performa;

All I can read on it is Maytag.

Louis,

Those were sold in Holland? That might explain the odd configuration.
I've never seen one. I've seen Neptunes, Atlantis, then Maytag closed up shop.
A few of the family are in the blue cheese business up in Newton Iowa.

If you go to db130's link and have a look at the pictures there you will be able to see one for the first time. Obviously you didn't.

This is most definitely a Dependable Care washer with the Performa name on it, like I said before.  I sold many of these washers new & used.    They had this washer out at the same time as the Norgetag Performa and the control panels had the same stripes on them.  I know the difference between the two platforms, believe me.    Oh, and the Norgetag Performas weren't built in Searcy.

I believe you. Who the heck was running Maytag?

My oldest sister replaced here bol "12" model with a Performa.   Thinking she got another Maytag.  She got the Norgetag version--didn't check with me until she started having problems with it.

Bob,

That's when Maytag began having problems.

That looks like an SAV model.

Per the parts diagram, SAV505DAWW or SAV505DAWQ is an Amanatag of some ilk ... or a Norgetag, I'm not clear on the difference between those two designs.  Anyway, it shows a single belt (transmission drive) with idler pulley and direct-drive pump.

This SAV washer was made in Searcy after Maytag bought Amana.  The Norgetag's were made in Herrin, IL and some Atlantis (also a Norgetag) were made in Newton.  Maytag management was not making wise decisions buying these other companies and taking their designs and integrating them into a "Maytag" washer.

So in the last years Maytag had four series of toploaders. The LAV (the last series of the LAT/Dependable Care), MAV (Atlantis), PAV (Performa) and SAV (Amanatag). Sort of the further you came into the alphabet, the worse they were. lol
