Keep shopping. The Hyster is better, but has too many hours. Typical gas truck engine is good for 10 or 12 K hours. There are exceptions. I have seen some wear out at 4000 and some at 15000, but 10 to 12 k is tyupical.

Stay as far away from the Daewoo as possible. My dealer sold Daewoos and Kmatsus. We dropped the Daewoos for leaks, maily from the trensmisssion. They have has varios other problems. I would agee that the -2 truck is more relieable, but still problematic. As a dealer tech, my Daewoo techinal bulletion file is huge! Does that tell you anything. I would avoid the Hercules engine. The vibrate like a Harley and Hercules is bankrupt. The
GM or Mitsubishe engines are better choices. The Mazda engine in the Hyster is also good.
