Are These Prices Real?


I am looking to pick up another cargo trailer, look at this:

Too good to be true? Probably.

Most cargo and dump trailers are made in Georgia, just read the add carefully to make sure you are getting what you want.

many times the trailer shown is not what you are getting, kind of like the base MSRP on a car, but the ones in the ad are quite a bit more.

That being said, he showed a black trailer but the price is for a white one, which I prefer, and the V nose is included, but it may not have the extended tongue which is nice to have so when you jacknife it, you won't screw up the trailer.

You usually have to pay freight or go pick it up.

But it looks like a great price to me, w have guys elling used ones for more than that here in florida.

Cole, I contacted that seller in the fall when I was in the market. Once I found out how much the freight was, I ended the conversation. IT WAS EXPENSIVE.

I couldn't even make it work if I drove from NJ to GA to pick it up.

Long story short, it's better to buy local.

I got my 7x14 from CL for $3800 and it was a steal. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll find a deal.

Re: Are These Prices Real?


That is almost identical to mine except color and mine has barn doors on the back. I bought mine in 07 used for $3500 but the trailer had never been used so it was in new condition. At the time i thought i stole it for that money. But for the prices everyone is asking now used or new i wouldnt think twice of driving to Georgia to pick one of those up. Around here the average price of a used 14'er is $4k-$5k depending on the year. Too much $$$$ IMO.
