    Max Couple Question

    SOLD, SOLD, SOLD - 2010 Conqueror Commander - Only One in the US (PRICE DROP)

    Having owned and regrettably having sold a Conqueror Basecamp, I can appreciate Dendy's love of his prized Commander. At the risk of starting a flaming war, I have to ask the following - In today's world, when someone has that kind of discretionary spending money, are they purchasing used...
