To buy used or new?
I'm looking at 2015 prowler lynx 30lx or 2018 jayco jayflight slx. Not sure if it's worth buying used or new? Need a little help

I always buy lightly used, 1 to 3 years old and let someone else take the huge depreciation hit. In that time they will have found and worked out any minor glitches and anything major will be glaringly apparent. Many {if not most}, folks buy the wrong unit the first time out and quickly discover their error. They can bend over on the trade in when they buy the right rig or sell it to a private party at a smoking good price... often in "As new" condition.
In many states {Arizona being one}, there is no sales tax on private party sales garnering you even greater savings. Think about how much the average new buyer actually uses their rig in the first couple of years.... usually less and often significantly less with each passing year. With the internet you can literally shop coast to coast from your keyboard so selection, finding exactly what you want should not be a problem.
IMHO: Buying new is for folks with way too much money... and doing the former will often cure the latter.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
