Im looking for a deal on a trailer to tow my k5. Specs im looking for are...
-anything 16-24' long
-80+'' wide of usable deck space
-Ideally trailer brakes on both axles but not a requirement if the price is right
I would like to spend 800-1300$. Minor repair work is acceptable
I know noone on here will want to let their trailer go that cheap but if you could keep an eye out for me itd be much appreciated. I know in this economy their is some very motivated sellers just need to find em :).
I dont think anyone here runs tires that small.

No you do want them on both axles. Makes a heck of a difference on good setups so with your intended tow rig I'd say AT LEAST make sure your trailer has brakes on both or plan on adding brakes on both before you tow.

What do you consider an epic deal? I bought my trailer for a good chunk of change but it was done. I threw some paint on it just because but it was 100% ready to roll. What are you looking to spend?
I have a friend that has a nice deck-over tilt trailer and he has less than 1/2 of what I have into mine but he basically built it from scratch after getting it home.

People here know people who know people who know people who might know people with epic deals. All about the networking when your looking for the deals.

Looking to spend 1200-1400 bucks for one ready to go or 800-1100 for one that needs a little work. So far ive found a few in that range on CL but people on CL have a bad habit of never responding and leaving out tons of info so far.

I would be half tempted to sell my trailer so that I my upgrade a little bit.
-01 carson 7k
-did brakes 2 years ago to the tune of $600, added the second axle brakes, all new drums, bearings and backing plates. The brakes need to be adjusted and the bearings need to be checked.
-The tires are in great shape and I think about 4 years old, they are good year marathons IIRC
-It has some oval tail lights
-Needs a new trailer connector on that would go to the truck, the one there works sometimes but I hit it with my truck so its broken
-Needs atleast 3 boards replaced
-Fenders are removable and beat up but really no issues other then looks.
Now the really bad part, I dont really want to sell it and upgrade cuz thats going to take money out of my pocket. And it works for me for now. Therefor no smoking deal from me. Now if I had a line on one and I needed to get this thing gone I would hook ya up.
$2k
If you want a picture look in my low rider build thread.

I'd need to get it at 1500 with all the things that need to be fixed up. I appreciate the offer though.

3 boards and a connector ain't worth 500. Your looking at 70 in parts.

Question, How wide is it in between the wheels,how long is it and does it have ramps?
I can go up on the price if you can come down a bit.

That sounds like me, I think. I just added stuff no big build up though.
