I bought an AVA GO, I'm a big fan of it. It's kind of an all in one deal, and performs very similar to an active 2.0 but with better accessories and a lower price.
That said, I have a gas powered pressure washer (Ryobi) for the heavy duty stuff with the house and sidewalks. You don't really want more than like 1200 psi for washing a car. You want much more than that for cleaning concrete though. You can adjust this with different orifice sized tips, but if you don't want to have to figure all that out yourself you can just buy the AVA GO that has different sized tips for different tasks.
I also have an el cheapo $100 1800psi Ryobi for washing the pool deck. It came with a turbo nozzle and it works pretty well for cleaning the pool cage and stuff too. I was going to use it for car wash use at first, with a set of cash wash nozzles that had lower psi and higher gpm, but then I bought the AVA.
Ryobi is coming out with a car wash specific version for $150 that will come with a longer hose (40' vs 20') and higher flow rates. It looks like it's gonna have a crap foam bottle though. I'd consider buying that and a better foam cannon, but then you're like withing spitting distance of the AVA which is better performing.
Neither of these units have wheels, but my wash setup I put on a cart.
