And then the Intel based version came out and the price of new units went up $100 across the board, so that guaranteed an ongoing higher price range in used machines. Game over.
Geez...sorry, but it doesn't seem to make sense to wait so long for such a relatively small difference in price. Seems you could have saved the money over the year (that's what, $10 a month?!?)...I say this not because I want to insult your spending power, but because if you to install the mini in the car properly would require at least that much cash in accessory and miscellaneous parts alone. If you're having trouble coming up with $150 over a year, I think you'll be surprised by the additional, frequently unanticipated costs you encounter associated with installing the computer in a car...and I wouldn't want that to spoil your project after you bought the computer.
