New autos aren't cheap. So much technology and flexibility in them will drive the price up. I put a new LW 360 in a year ago, no problems with it to date, runs like a champ. I just had two more quoted out, with airlift
doors, new paystations, dryers, and octoform wall/ceiling covering. About 150k each, which included all the labor. Little high, but a good budgetary quote.
I look to get an ROI on equipment like this within 3yrs. So far I'm on track to have the ROI on my first one in a total of 2yrs.
