I'm not their target demographic and never will be. Dropping even $60K on a new vehicle to actually wheel with is still, IMO, too much money. $100K for a new LX600 to wheel in would be like lighting money on fire (more power to folks who can do that, it's just not me ). My GX is covered with pinstripes. It also only cost $10,700 from a private-party seller (although I have 2X that in parts/added goodies on top of that so far).
I'll be much happier in 7-10 years (assuming I'm still into these rigs at that point) after letting Owner 1 take most of the depreciation on a GX550 or LX600, giving me a good vehicle to wheel with that is a not as terrible of a financial investment as beating up on a brand new one and really tanking the resale value.
