Older well built or newer TT
If you had a choice of buying an older well built TT (Artic Fox, Lance etc...) or a newer (not new) TT with less quality for the same price what would you buy? I'm getting ready to buy a "newer" TT...

Look for Sunnybrooks made in the early 2000's, they were good quality trailers until about 2006 or so.
Good quality used is definitely the way to go in my book. We bought our TT new and I will never buy another new one. The depreciation is so bad that if you finance you are upside down until the day you pay it off.
Also, consider that some folks mod their RV in one way or another, maybe as simple as some coat hooks or a complete charging system upgrade with inverter and transfer switch like one of my projects. You need to keep a sharp eye for hack work. On the other end of the spectrum are folks that own a screwdriver and mo maintenance work has been done....
The used market includes a mix of trailers that were quality units when they were built, but that have been hacked up during mods or just plan neglected....and units that were cheaply built but have been well-modded by their owners to result in a better camper.
Fall and Spring are best times to look as folks upgrade at camping shows. The biggest issue with used is that there's a whole lot more to look at than a vehicle...so the pics you see may send you on a wild good chase for a unit that's not what it appears to be...not to discourage you, there are killer deals out there for those who find them.
