Hello Mark,
I was in the same boat a few days ago but I bought a Countryman just yesterday that was advertised on this site. :-)
I was given this advice by the very helpful man in the local camping shop: don't buy a folding camper less than 2010 because new models have the new acrylic material. You're going to be buying it for a couple of years so you want a new(er) model which will last you going forward. Be very careful of any dents or breaks cos they can allow water in. Ideally let someone give it the once over for you.
That's not always possible from private advertisers though, and i don't know what your budget is. He also said this is the right time of the season to pick up a bargain. Come March they are quicker to sell, and more expensive too.
I found it very hard cos you want to have a look at something before you buy, and round my neck of the woods that wasn't possible. i did a ton of research and i narrowed it down to a Quickstep or a Countryman...but my heart was set on the countryman really and now i"m the very, very proud owner of one.
I really do wish you the best in your search.
