I am biased of course, but if it were me, I would try to buy a used box from the Southwest USA. No snow, sand, salt and minimal rain. Additionally, we don't have those potholes that swallow a box whole!

There are many things to look for in buying a used Box and if you do a search here you will find some excellent advice.

Last comment, if you want a tip, hold out for a tip. Also, if you buy a Tip, personally I would buy an S.

I have driven both and they really are different cars. Moreover, the S is much easier to re-sell.

Best of luck to both of you!
