For what it is worth, In 1999 I bought a Kirby Vacuum with a rug shampooer attachment, it also came with the assorted vacuum attachments and converted to a somewhat portable model to do your car. I financed it for around 2500. That vacuum has performed flawlessly and is still in use to this day. I had to replace a plastic impeller part damaged by sucking up pennies. Part cost $25 in n2001 and the instructions to install it were very simple. If you add up all the vacuums and rug shampooers you'd buy in 14 years, IMO I got a bargain.
