I went to check out this trailer today and was wondering if its worth the 5,000 he wants for it..Its 3 years old and seemed to be in good shape, box is not all beat up and it looks straight...He said he paid 8,000 for it new..Thanks for your input ..

I paid the same and sold mine a year later for $5000. The sides and tailgate could be higher. Do some internet shopping. If it's for occasional personal use you could find something new +/-$6500. It is a hydralic dump right? If not then way too high.

is it a 14,000 what is the hoist like?

I have a titan like that trailer and I love it and would pay that for a used one I paid 8,000 for mine.

$5k seems in line with the prices I have seen for a low profile dumping trailer like that around here. I have seen them less though.

Here is another pic.. I have looked at PJ trailers and some others similer but have told that they are made in mexico and assembled in America and that the quality of steel and what not are not as strong as these homegrown types.. oh I forgot in includes 18 in sides.. Thanks again..
