Purchase from dealer or private party?

I would never buy new from a dealer. Not cars, or anything big. Nor would i finance anything. the depreciation is more than the interest. There are a lot of good rigs in the private sector. Look on line at craigs list and others. Research the best brands. All of them get their appliances from the same dealers. And they can all have parts replaced. You can find some one to check it out if needed. I bought a 97 Excel 28 ft for 6500 and paid cash. Been in it for two years and have 300 in repairs. Like I said NO to new...
