I bought mine new in 03 and did a lot to it. I don't want to go thru another again so this 'old thing' which is better than new won't be going anywhere except long camping trips as usual. When you buy something like this you need to commit yourself to getting after the work it will need. Often the harder the work, the more it pays and carries with it a greater degree of satisfaction that will only prompt you to find more. It's a slippery slope to be an owner with high standards as long as it's not a lost cause or a pile of neglect your buying.
