Buying used can be tricky, but you can become an informed buyer by having a professional inspection done, and by focusing on brands that are less-prone to those types of problems. However, I understand it's not for everybody and that's one of the great things about America - we can all usually find whatever suits us and be happy. I know folks who love their brand new rigs as well.
As for the Canyon Star, I see those have an MSRP of $175,000. I know Newmar is a good manufacturer, but when, like myself, you don't have that kind of change laying around, it's not really an option. We looked seriously at a used Dutch Star before the FT.
Not even close, I didn't pay anywhere near 175,000. Of all the motorhomes I've owned in the last 40 yrs. this is only the second new one. At 65 this is more than likely the last one and at 6,000 average miles per year I'm sure it will outlast me.
