Maybe 60 at the most.

400 new tires
150 fenders
60 good jack
50 lighting and wiring

Almost the price of new one if you fix it all right.

I agree with every-one elso Adam. That thing is beat for that price!
Looks like it may have been overloaded also.

I would say if you want a project, give the guy a 100 bucks and tell him that your doing him a favor. There is $100 in scrap steel anyway.

look around and save a few more bucks, a 1000 should get you a nicey but at a bargin!

Evven at that, check the axles, the way that is beat the axles are prolly bent, if so, the trailer is scrap

Looks like the bed of the trailer "rolls in"(sags in the middle.) Are there even cross members on it? I have seen home built jobs that only had a few and they were about to buckle... I would offer him $75 AT MOST! You need to look at the axles but also the hubs. I would just stay away unless you just had to have a project...

I haven't seen this trailer in person, just the pictures that you have seen is all that I have seen.


I am awaiting a response from him.

I bought a dual axle, electric brakes on 1 axle trailer in much better shape than that for $500. Had to rewire it and that was it!

That thing should go to the scrap yard!

Yea I agree with everyone here, keep looking Adam. Work too hard for your money to drag that thing home.

Do you need another project? Thats the question. That POS is gonna eat some time.

1st, Better check the axles, like some-one said, they may be bent. Looks like it may have been overloaded.

NOW WAY!!!!!!!!!

When looking for a trailer remember this.

As of January 2007 AZ has a new law and DPS is cracking down. I got popped.

If you are hauling a vehicle it has to have dual axles each rated at 3500 LBS minimum.

It has to have brakes on at least one axle.

It has to have a break away system also on it.

If you find one and need any help let me know.
I am almost finished redoing mine. Should be done by Tuesday.

I have to agree with everyone. It looks like a money pit. Maybe worth 50-100 bucks as long as the axles are in good shape and crossmembers are in good shape. I'd have to say keep shopping!!!!

I have to disagree with the masses!!! Tell the guy if he pays you $50 to $100 you'll haul it away! Looks like a bunch of work.

How could anyone pass up a trailer with such cool ramps and a manual winch?
