Batman,

The entire world that purchases forklifts must be stupid. They have been making Toyota the number one lift truck manufacturers since 2002. Since you say Toyota lies, cheats, builds terrible product, is the cheapest forklift on the market they must be stupid to get treated this way and still keep lining up to purchase Toyotas.

The truck is Toyota is very good at engineering their product and also marketing their product. I represent several other brands besides Toyota and they are in general 10% less than Toyota. The fact that the Toyotas have a 15% higher residual at the end of the lease help to level the playing field.

By the way the residuals should represent a good estimation of what the truck is worth at the end of the lease. Why are the Toyota residuals more? BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THE OPEN MARKET IS WILLING TO PAY FOR THEM!

Yes my screen name is up front and lets everyone know where I'm coming from, I thought this would be better than trying to fool everyone.

Also I have worked for Toyota, Cat, Nissan and Yale. The lift condition language is virtually the same for every company! Regardless if it's TFS, CFS, YFS, Citi, Associates, Greater Bay, etc...

So Batman, what do you try and sell?
