For years we bought nothing but used. We would find a good used coach that someone else had taken the major depreciation hit on and then purchase it at the best price we could negotiate. Since we knew we were not going to keep the coaches for a long time we never worried too much about the floor plan in fact we even purchased a bunk model once long after the kids were gone. With the used coaches we would clean them up fix any major problems and use the heck out of them then sell them usually only loosing the repair and upkeep money. The last three coaches have been new and although we have the floor plan and engine we want the depreciation has killed us. Looking back I think we should have stuck with used.
