Default HELP - somebody talk me out of buying this '85 Aria aw40 (Martin D45 copy)

Ok, the gas is setting in again.

I've stumbled across this '85 Aria aw40. It is a dreadnought, top model for Aria, and 'kind of' a copy of the Martin D45 (imho). Don't confuse this guitar with the Ibanez aw40. It's $750 Canadian.

Please tell me some reasons why I should or should not look at this thing.
I figure it will be a hard one to resell. Perhaps a slightly more expensive Martin or Larrivee dreadnought would be way easier to resell in the future. I'm looking for great sounding dreadnought to keep. My wife has a killer Larrivee d-04 but she is left handed so I can't play it haha!


I already have a very nice Larrivee lv-03. I also own a sweet Aria classical from the mid sixties. I do not own a big sounding dreadnought though.

I have bought two Larrivee's this year, four basses & one very expensive upright last year. My wife has been very understanding.
