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...

One must consider the rather rapid depreciation of a new TT.
From my experience the DW wanted several changes to the interior within the first year. Not easy to do when everything hides something else. Also, however, pleasing the changes might be for my DW, they only reduce the trade in value.
Since I bought the TT used and will eventually trade it in very used, the depreciation factor is of less importance.
Depreciation really sucks if you buy new.
My trailer new in 2000 was $46,000 with all available options.
Bought it used in excellent and condition with upgraded axles/wheels/brakes for $6500 in 2014.
But if you have the money and no repair type skills, then new may fit.
Was 46K MSRP. 14 years later how much more do you think it should be worth?
Thats the problem with used....its only worth what someone is willing to pay for an older TT with no warranty.
I have only seen one other like mine ever on the entire internet(not kidding). It was a 99 and no generator, asking $12,500.
