TurboNova Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I am in the market for a open car trailer prefer solid floor either wood or steel. would like to get a good deal on a used one Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just a FYI, most good condition used ones tend to go for nearly what new ones do. I lucked out on mine, since it needed $100 in parts and a couple hours of work + knew the guy selling it. I suggest getting an 18' one. They are easier to deal with than the shorter trailers. And make sure the electric brakes are in good working order. Wiring is cheap and easy to replace, so I wouldn't worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I just bought a used 17' open trailer with a new paint job, aftermarket white American Racing rims and new tires, ALL new wiring and lights, aluminum long-ass ramps, plus an electric wrench for $800. I then spent $200 on treated 2x10s, 2x12s, and carriage bolts. Deals are out there. We had $800 total in the 18' trailer I used from '94 to '07.
