New guy here. I've been reading here to get info about selecting a new 3000# propane lift truck. I have narrowed my search down to two units. The machine will be used in a machine shop environment, and will see low-hour demand.

Quote #1 is a 2006 Nissan PL30LP from a Nissan dealer's rental fleet. Pretty basic 3000# machine with just over 1000 hours. The dealer will sell as a reconditioned machine. This includes new paint, hoses, seat, tires, and a 90 day powertrain warranty. $13,000 Dealer is not local to me - about a 3 hour drive.

Quote #2 is a 2008 TCM HG15 at a TCM dealer that is local. Basic machine with 69 hours. Always been at the dealer's sister-shop that does repair work on other types of equipment. Excellent condition, since it has very little use, and always kept inside. Dealer will perform a PM on the unit and offers a 1 year warranty. $15,000

I'm located in Texas, and good used units are hard to find, so hopefully I can **** one of these up. Please tell me what you think is the better buy....
