" 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.
