    I really don’t understand the second hand market for stuff like this… If you can’t afford it new… You probably shouldn’t be buying it used…

    It’s like a dude trying to buy a used yacht because he can’t afford it new… You’re not in the yacht club my guy, buy yourself a sensible boat you can afford and maintain.
