There are lot's of great deals out there on high end USED aluminum enclosed trailers. A friend just bought an 8 year old 24 foot Featherlite V nose used car trailer for in Texas for $6,500. I am a BIG believer in purchasing high end used equipment versus low end new equipment.

I have a 23 year old Featherlite enclosed car trailer that was used for the first 12 years by a NASCAR team. Great trailer, pulls well and in fantastic condition. Featherlite built 15 of these trailers for 3 different teams. The trailer is 22 ft long and 6 foot tall inside. The trailer was built for maximum inside width. The trailer was used to transport CUP cars locally between shops and for testing. I paid $4,500 for the trailer when I bought it. That trailer would be every bit of $15K-$20K new. All 3 of my trailers are HIGH end expensive trailers when new that I purchased used. All three were built in the early to mid 1990's. All 3 trailers may be old but they function properly and look good.

Why buy new when there are so many great used HIGH end trailers available? No you generally will not spend any less money than you would buying a new cheap trailer however you will get a MUCH better quality trailer that has been used. Yes it will be more work finding that great deal on a high end used trailer rather than going to the local yocal trailer seller. Of course anything that is good or great always requires a little extra effort.

Buy a HIGH END used trailer you will not be sorry!
