Can anyone refer me to a "wholesaler" that doesn't sell at retail prices or actually knows the condition of what they are selling. It seems like in the past 2 years most wholesalers actually retail their trucks and offer maybe a 10% discount to a dealer. It also seems that if you would like pictures, condition reports or ,god forbid, an hour meter reading, they can't be bothered. Lately, most wholesalers don't even look at the most basic operations of a lift truck. It has gotten so bad that if you can get a set of forks with the truck consider yourself lucky, but in all likelihood they are either bent or mismatched.
