Your on the right path, you should ask to see the books so you can see the numbers yourself. I think thats a good price if the numbers he say are correct. you would pay for your investment in less than a year.

that is too much for the soda machines

doesnt matter what they are $1,000 for a soda machine is too much in my opinion

What does "makes $600.00 a month" mean? To me that means profit. To a lot of people (especially sellers) it means sales. There is a big difference. In any possible purchase you need to be sure both parties are expressing themselves the same way.

probably gross sales, i have not seen anyone discuss net when selling a route probably because net can be way too variable anyway
