You mentioned financing so:
I don't know if financing works like on cars, but new verses used you usually get a better interest rate on new. This is more true if you are comparing brand spanking new to several years old.
The older you go, the more depreciation you save. If you are going to resell in a few years, you will lose some of that depreciation savings on resale value. Keep it a long time, the savings is real, because both coaches eventually depreciate to residual value. Eventually, a well-kept coach levels out at what it is worth which is next to nothing compared to what it cost new -Arghh.
I would think Florida and Arizona and the like are the mecca for shopping used. Where I live, not so much. I found that for what we were looking for, we had to drive hours to look at used or new.
We bought new so we could get exactly what we wanted. We ordered it, had a few changes made, so we have one of a kind which is worth exactly nothing in the resale world. To us, it was worth the extra expense.
