What is a fair asking price for a kirby ultimateG,[model g7d], it has the following new genuine kirby parts,brush roll,bag tube,cord,fan and pully kit,belt ,bulb,carbons with holders,the machine is mechanically as good as new,cosmetics on a 1 to 10 score i would give it a 7. It comes with a 5 year parts and labor warranty,on the motor and fan unit and the transmission.

I was thinking around 275.00,[whats your thoughts]

J.P.T. the carbons should be checked every 5 to 7 years, if you used the attachments a lot the motor speed is really going to the high C and should be looked at every 2 years to be on the safe side,Its really easy to check ,pull the 3 screws on the motor housing  [under the cover where the cord goes there is a screw also] and under neath where the rear wheel are there is a screw also, take all these out and the motor housing pull off to the rear,you will see a plastic carbon brush cover on top of the carbon take this off and to pull the carbon out depress the spade connector you will see a lip toward the outerside of the holder if the carbon is a half to 3/4 inch long they are O.K oem origional kirby carbons are very hard and i think yours should be marked with a b88 code,if they are worn use only the new carbons are O.E.M. that have the code on them,they look like HOOVER 22 v but are much harder than the hoover ones.

DONT BE AFRAID OF THIS ITS NOT THAT HARD EVEN HARDSELL CAN DO IT,,,,,,,

Hi Mole,

The warranty covers seven years in regard to the Vortex motor and up to a couple of years, I think, on some of the lesser components.
