Default Pressure washing civic

well my neighbor has a new karcher (spelling) pressure washer 1600 and if i want it i can buy it from him for around 100 bucks. Brand new in box never used maybe a year old.
well what i am asking is do you guys wash your cars with pressure washers?
Is there a difference from just normal hose washing?
also i have heard the pump breaks fast and costs over 150 to repair.

i know when i go to a manual car wash i love the pressure washer.

I have a 5hp gas honda pressure washer and I use it all the time. It kicks ***. I think the one you are talking about is electric. If it's electric: don't get it because it is a piece of ****.

Power washing uses less water because the water is being used more efficiently. I tend to wash my car in half the time with a power washer and can really clean my wheel wells and wheels well.
