same holds true around here... you can buy used for 2500 and new for
2700-2800. seems a no brainer... buy new and save all the rework like Mark
mentioned...
is a mid range 5" channel and 3500# axles usually sufficient ?? like I said,
the load is less than 4K and less... don't plan on loaning it out... that's
what bends fenders and tongues and strips out the wiring... see that enough
with work trailers... it's amazing how much damage can be done to a
trailer...expecially when you don't have to pay to fix it..
j
...telling some people to "be yourself" is about the worst
advice you could give them

Same here. I shopped for a long time last year, and never found a single
non-junk trailer for less than I could get a brand-new one for... without even
shopping around for low new prices.
