" And the million dollar question is, what if I bought a $90K Syncro westy from them then drove it back into the lot 1 week later. How much would they buy it from me for? :)" That question is beneath you Bryan. What do you think the Range Rover, Mercedes or Jaguar dealer would give you once you drove their $100,000 plus offerings off the lot! How much would the computer store give you for your month-old used-to-be-state-of-the-art laptop. My neighbourhood is chock full of $100,000 plus cars, many of them high-zoot SUVs; his and hers BMW X-5s, E-Class Mercedes, Range Rovers everywhere. Many of them have $25,000 motorcycles for the occasional sunny day. $50,000.00 for a camper that can take the whole family up the Sunshine Coast or over to Texada Island for the weekend isn't the same kind of stretch for them as it would be for me. :) If I had the bucks I'd buy one in a flash! I could spend my time building guitar and maybe even a double bass, instead of putting a Subaru engine in Dixie.
