Should I buy this trailer?

[SteveSS]

I trailer a car about 10X a year whether I'm using my insurance stuff. borrowing or renting a trailer. My son has a 2001 Ram 2500 diesel so we use that for pulling things. A friend knows we were kind of looking for an inexpensive car trailer but this came up.

I haven't seen it yet and and don't have pictures. 20 foot long, wood bed, hydraulic tilt. Trailer brakes are not working don't know why. $2,000. Your opinions please. Thanks

I just sold my 16’ for that much and it was far from perfect.... so that’s a good deal. You can buy the electric brake assemblies for cheap so don’t worry about that

Myself I don't care for tilt trailers. I like dovetail trailers. I have an 18 foot dove and love it.

My car is reliable....No trailers here.

bought a brand new 18' dove tail for $2600 dual axles with trailers brakes 4 years ago. new trailers are cheap. they are around here anyways. shop around.

Wow you got the red X.

Take a look at it, and make an offer if it looks good. Seems high, unless it's extremely nice...

Wow you're right I got a red x. I never pay attention to that stuff. I say a lot of stupid things but I didn't think this was one of them.

Trailer brakes not working could be anything from worn out brakes, to a bad wring connection, to controller in the tow vehicle not working or out of adjustment. How is the hydrauliic tilt system? That would be a bigger worry for me.

Get a dovetail and a good winch.

You might want to look for an enclosed trailer. When you’re not using it, it makes for great storage. I just sold my 20’ enclosed trailer for $2,000.
