 He probably uses that same photo for whichever washer he might be advertising. I see that a lot from dealers on my local CL.
Such laziness would make me skeptical that the machine had been refurbished, or if so, to what degree and whether it was done properly.
$250 is a very inflated price. If he won't offer a money back guarantee (as opposed to a limited warranty that would likely provide questionable repairs at best) I would suggest you "deleaver" yourself from making any deal with him for that machine.

Thanks Rp2813. I found Yogitunes' profile, but I don't see any way to PM him. | ||

Well, no pics were provided last night or this morning. Now he says maybe this evening he can provide some. Saturday is the only day we have time to make a road trip like this. He doesn't seem to be too interested in making the sale. Would you just pass on this? | ||

best thing is to keep looking around....Ebay, Craigslist, etc.....
what exactly are you looking for? what caught your interest, that it was a Maytag?, a sudssaver?.... age?, color?, specific model? keep an eye on shoppers square as well......many members post ads they find, who knows what may turn up....many treasures have been found through the help of others.... | ||

a matching dryer.....
or better yet, an 806 TOL washer.... you could probably get the set for around 200.00, maybe even less! CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK on Reading Craigslist | ||

Looks like a late '60s one-speed, but standard capacity and not a suds saver. Nice clean machine though.
I had to remove the "s" from https to get to the ad via Google. Strange, because up until this week, I was having to manually remove that "s" from anything I pasted into the "URL Link to share" field, but now when I access CL, it's just "http" and there's no little padlock icon anymore.
I don't know if it's the gremlins at MS or CL, but it would be nice if they were better at notification. | ||

well, you sort of have the makings of a suds saver with the wringer.....
at this point, any machine would work, but you will have to keep an eye on first and second drainings..... save the wash water in the wringer, and pump the water back to your automatic....let the rinse water go down the drain..... done this many times in the past....... A Whirlpool/Kenmore direct drive would fit your bill for the most part...... although preference for a vintage machine would be more fun where in PA are you located? | ||

Goatfarmer - I wrote him off because he just kept putting off getting pictures to us. He had a chance to save a sale by getting pictures to us ASAP. Yes, you are QUITE a piece down the road from us...LOL! | ||

where there's a will, there's a way.....
glad you got something to fill your needs for the moment, this will get you through, eventually you will find the exact machine you want....seems we never find it when were looking, once you stop, it will pop up....
yeah, those direct drives have a huge tub..... my aunt does her laundry with a similar setup, both are Maytags.....your true savings are using the hot/warm water for washing and reuse, and cold for rinsing.... one added benefit in your method compared to an automatic suds saver, the wash water doesn't have time to cool down.... some of us have automatic machines lined up, and transfer the wash water to the next machine along the line....its a matter of what works best for you.... | ||
