Matt, I agree with everything that MxRacin said. I somewhat disagree with Geof though - ...a gouge of about 30-40% when you drive over the curb with a new unite is not uncommon now.... I have seen plenty of used units and they generally only loose 12% to 16% after 1 year and 20,000 miles. If someone were to pay retail then that is another story. We have seen steel surcharges and chassis price increases in the last couple years that make it look worse when comparing new to used though. JMHO
