Hi Fredi
Thanks for the reply.
Today I signed up for the Toyota before reading your post.
The reason for the choice came down to a couple or few things viz:
The rep offered a new 2015 plated unit for a k less and a peer in Sydney with a nursery operation said he ran all toyotas for reliability and resale. Wasn't overly impressed with Toyota's finance rate which was 1.1% more than a broker's rate tho.
I told the rep that Hyster was 4K cheaper but he didn't seem to care and actually invited me to buy it if price was the important purchase point for me!!
I guess the other reason I went Toyota was good name and resale value also notwithstanding Hyster is well respected too.
Now it remains to move my 1 tonne Yale with its fork positioners on to its next owner! Unfortunately Toyota also wanted another 4K for positioners but this was outside my budget so will adjust manually.
Thanks once again Fredi
Cheers
Nick
