Bottom line is you must do your research. We probably looked online at hundreds of rigs, and while on trips we visited such places as PPL and some of the larger dealers, as well as the mom and pops. Before I got a plane ticket I had 10+ conversations with the owner, pulled carfax, and felt confident that this was the one. Had it not been, we would have been ok flying back home, having that return ticket told the seller we were not stuck in Texas. I got 2 round trip tickets, and we canceled the return trip, once cementing the deal, thus getting a credit for the unused leg.
As far as the upside down discussion, this has its merits. However 2 of the local rigs I looked at were owned outright, yet still overpriced.
Repos are out there. We have a friend who owns a resell business and was willing to find a late model rig for us at auction if we were unable to find one on our own. We found a nice 2010 well priced repo'd Georgetown in Indiana which we considered, however I was concerned about having a 38 footer on the V10 platform.
Research, research and research more! Use all tools available, let everyone know you are looking, and by concentrating in the southern states, older rigs seem to fair better (with the exception of a rig we bought in Florida years ago, the sun and salt took its toll)
