I had a 2002 model at one time, bought it used for 5k in 2011 from a friend.
They are nice and have nearly imaginable bell and whistle that you can think of, but the cost to keep the thing running on an older one is incredible. The resale is awful, but you can always say you owned a RR. You can buy a new one for 60K and sell it 10 yrs later for pennies and let someone else deal with it (like me). After owning one, whenever I see a RR, I always say, "There goes another lease". Maybe true, maybe not, but you hardly see any old RR on the road, I would know...I always look for them.
