First off thank you so much for your time and advice!

My apologies I forgot to add this info: (dual front wheels, air wheels, side shift) I believe the mast is a double stage. I have no idea about the tire's status, this information is coming from our forman at one of our other locations. I guess I should really take some pics and post them so you guys could really get a good look at it? Also the price is in Canadian dollars.

This has been a machine that we have rented for the past year now and the vendor is asking if we would like to buy it. As far as I know the machine has been in a lumbar yard most of its life. One of our employees says it is a great machine and that it rarely ever stalls and is great in the winter.

I thought that the price sounded a little on the high side, for being such and old unit.

I will definately have to go take a look for myself, I will use some of your information when I do so I know what to look at.

Once again I really appreciate your time and advice, I am very new to this whole fleet manager role and any information I can get is a bonus.

Thank you.

1. Agree with mffixtit - the lift is 15 years old.
2. Would need more information as to overall condtion, tires, mast spects (2 stage/3stage, attachment (side shifter, etc.
3. Don't be fooled by the low hours - hourmeters can be replaced (done very frequently) or stopped working some time ago and never replaced, tc - look at the wear on the mast channels, looseness in the steering axle etc. At 6500 hours that is only 433 hours per year or 36 hours per month - seems to low to be original hours

4 Is the $15k Canadian or USD?

5 What is the warranty they are offering - parts & labor for what period?

6. What does "just serviced" mean - changed oil, filters, lubed etc or a complete systems check out?

7. What type of application did it come out of - lumber, brick/block,recycling, etc?

Way, way, way overpriced. Go to eliftruck (dot) com to get a idea of fair prices.
