"The wife's been a harder sell."

I know what you mean ... these older models are definitely more difficult to unload without taking a loss in the sale. I've tried, and I can't even get the Blue Book value for mine.

(Pause) ...

Oh, not that kind of "sell"?
(In my best Emily Latella voice) Never mind.

Just as well, BL. The newer models are difficult to operate, require a whole new learning curve in figuring how they can be operated properly, and require HUGE cash outlay (mostly) to ensure acceptable performance. They are also usually less capable than our current models; as we have gotten a chance to install some of our preferred performance enhancements over the years.
