If you buy, look around to find best vlue, dont necessarily shop in your home area. Out here in AZ you can find a mix from all over.

But there are others just have to look. Another example was a very clean late model, AC didnt work right told guy to get checked out and call us. He called and said it was all good, then let slip he had gotten the unit from a bigger outfit so you know it woas going to take $$ to get right.
We ended up purchase froma private party. Had looked at same rig new and was looking at 6 figures, got this one 1 year old for 3/4 of price of new! SO look at big places in texas is one but also scan craigs list from different areas for price comparisons. Ask someone locally to check. There is a consignment place here, posted prices look OK not too expensive but depends on what ya want and want to pay.
