Default What do yall think about the condition of this trailer?

18' Trailex on ebay

It's a good price and looks to be in decent shape - though the bolts look a little weathered. Definately not bad for the current $2,500 price I think. But, what do yall with aluminum trailers think? And what are the questions should I ask the owner?

Vracer111, who has a second chance at another Trailex trailer (though this one is well used compared to the nearly brand new one that got away.)

I have a brand new R&R 20' all aluminum diamond plate deck tandem axle trailer (axles are 3500lb each=7000 gross), Features include 4 wheel electric brakes, alloy wheels and trailer rated tires (14"). The overall length is 24' and carries my CRX or Prelude perfectly. Width is 8'6" (102") and that is to the outside of the fenders. The ball is 2-5/16" and the wiring is 7 pin. Why do I mention this-because the retail price is currently under $4000 plus the price of the alloys and a spare tire (you really should have one).
I cannot see the construction for the one on E-bay as it is a bit dark. Looks like one I have seen and it should be fine. All hardware should be Grade 8 or higher and rust free. The chains and breakaway device should also be in excellent condition for the asking price. Keep in mind that this trailer is limited in what it can handle as far as car size and weight. Make sure the surge brakes work properly and that the tires are trailer rated-not car ones.

Good luck
