If you decide on a TT you should have lots and lots of choices for used units. A lot of families buy TTs and sell them after a few years and relatively little use as the kids grow up and refuse to travel with the parents.
You told the OP to buy only a new unit. Then you tell him the benefits of used units. :h
Makes perfect sense to me...how will I have a supply of nice used rigs in a few years if people aren't buying new rigs?
But yeah, he said "reconsider" buying new.
PS: Don't count on a new rig being trouble free. Everyone we know who has bought new rigs, have had more problems than we have buying used ones. Keep in mind just because it's under warrantee doesn't mean they won't let your rig sit for 3 months before they actually do the repairs. They already have your money.
