If it had the features I wanted, I would much sooner buy the one sitting on the lot. First the dealer will be motivated to give you a deal. Second it will still be covered under warranty, And lastly it has seen some weather and if you don't find damage, that would mean its a keeper. If a new unit comes in and hasn't seen weather you may not find out till after you buy and use it a bit. Yes it will still be under warranty, but I would much prefer the one that doesnt need to be fixed. JMO
