Opinion seems to be split and parts seems to be the major issue on them.

I know the company we are looking to buy them off say they have access to both genuine and non-genuine parts. They did also say if they had been contract hiring the electric they would use Nissan for heavy use. So i felt it was a balanced opinion but he seemed unconcerned about the spares.

I have a bit more looking an analysis to do before deciding. Delivery is only 4 weeks. I think I am probably going to go for it on the big gas, due to lack of alternatives that meet the requirements.

On the electric I am not sure yet.

Thanks for everyone's input, if we do go for it I will keep updated on the outcome and reliability.
