: Is this a good price on a flatbed gooseneck? DMAX1518 05-05-2008, 07:32 PM I'm looking at a 18' flatbed gooseneck trailer for sale here locally. Its either a 03 or 04 model with no dovetail. The trailer is in good shape and does not appear to have been used much. They are asking $2000 and he said he would take $1500 cash. I have no idea what its worth. This is the first one I looked at. Is this a good price or should I keep looking? Thanks cgreen 05-05-2008, 08:24 PM What brand, what size axles? 1500 sounds cheap enough if it is a quality trailer. DMAX1518 05-05-2008, 08:55 PM Not sure about the brand. It was used as a carhauler so I'm guessing 3500# axles. I'll find out for sure. I know it has Electric brakes and manual landing gear, no winch and fold down ramps. DMAX1518 05-06-2008, 01:16 PM I called and talked to him and its an 04 model with tandem 7000# axles. He thinks its made by International but he's not sure about that. cgreen 05-06-2008, 02:20 PM If it's in good shape, it's definitely worth that. habanero 05-06-2008, 04:26 PM Like they said above, that's a good price if it's in any decent kind of shape. I've been looking at 20 + 5 dovetail 14K flatbeds and you're hard pressed to find one in any kind of shape under $3000 around here. DMAX1518 05-06-2008, 10:11 PM I looked at it again today and everything is in really good shape. The deck shows a little bit of wear but it's not too bad. The frame, axles, ramps, and tires are all good. The deck will last several more years with no problems. I had my car today but I'm pretty sure I'll buy it tomorrow. Thanks for the input. got-h2o 05-06-2008, 10:15 PM Wow, sounds dirt cheap to me.
