Lol just pick up a used one off of marketplace or kijiji. I picked up a Thule in good condition that’s longer then the roof of my SUV for like 280$

Don't know if you can get it in N America but i’ve a Atera roofbox (made in Germany) that's 215 long that was definitely cheaper than the thule option

I got my bigass Yakima $650 roof box for $200 at an REI garage sale. Though these days the garage sale is kinda ruined maybe you could still find a discounted roof box there.

Mine had a small hash from shipping I just covered with some waterpro
