Has anyone come across a shop that sells pressure washers in Fethiye? They are available from Koc Tas but I have not seen them in a retail shop. :)

They've got them in Goksular Yapi Market ( B&Q ), and couple of other shops nearby. There's a Karcher agent with the full range behind the old hospital.

I've got a small pressure washer if someone wants to borrow it for a day or 2.

I'm pretty certain that there's a shop almost opposite B&Q that has Karchers in their window display.

They're also in the DIY shop near the Sunday market. They had loads of Karchers there end of last summer. They also had B & D strimmers so no need to take one out any more.

The Park yapi Diy near the sunday market are getting rid of their Karcher gear, if you haggle a bit you should get cost price.

Hi Smudge ...went in there today.... they wanted £160 for a smallish model about the size you would get for about £60 in the uk. B&Q did have a Black & Decker for 160YTL.  Not K'archer but not £160 either!!! :)

just purchased new karcher over net in uk a lot more than £160, but the good thing is the patio cleaning brush works a treat, worth getting for turkey?. bad thing is wife thinks I over spent(nothing new there) so I have to wash the cars more often.

Would it be worth going back to the Sunday Market place & haggling like mad now Smudge has given you the info that they are getting rid of the Karcher stuff?
I've never haggled there - just paid the prices. It's never once crossed my mind to haggle with them.
Do you lot all haggle with them?

I normally will too - they don't call me Mrs Ali Baba for fun.: :) It does get a bit embarrasing tho. when the market traders yell 'Hello, Mrs Ali Baba'.  :-\: :) :o I keep telling Carl to go away if he wants something & leave it to me. He once paid £10+ for a belt - I nearly hit the ceiling, had there been one in the market!

He now tells me what he wants away from the stall & wears mirror glasses 8), his eyes are such a giveaway - he's such a soft touch - I despair of him sometimes.

I just can't understand why I'd never even thought of haggling at the DIY shop?

The prices at Park diy are good, so no good haggling on small items but if spending a few lira then as with anywhere here cash talks, after all the kdv man takes 18%, if you pay by card the bank will take another chunk, so savings can be made.
