I'm fortunate that I have 5 I think used record stores not far from my house. The closest two are about 11 blocks or so from my house and I agree, budget willing, pay for quality goods like turntables. I inherited the Kenwood from my late parents and they bought it new in 1985 so already it has a leg up on the current budget tables now on offer. It helps that I have it kitted out with the Grado prestige Green 1 I bought in the spring and it's connected to a decent phono preamp so it punches way beyond it's price point at the moment but know I can do way better.
I agree on buying used but I have always loved the philosophy of Rega tables once I heard of them around 2000 or so (and heard one too at the time and liked it). At that time, the Planar 3 had just had a major revision - hence the P3 2000, but I'd love to find a second hand P3 24V 2007 iteration or maybe the better P5 or P7, or RP6 if I can find one I can swing over the Planar 3, which has always been a well regarded model in the lineup and it's considered the comopany's bread and butter/workhorse model.
Eventually... Gotta get a workin' first though! :-)
