    Got a trailer I'd like to go look at and would like a 2nd set of eyes from someone who knows more than myself.
    Would either be in Coopersburg PA or Swedesboro NJ.
    Can throw some cash your way for your time.

    Best you get a certified inspection with guarantees. This way no one else is responsible for it other then mechanic who guaranteed it to you.

    See I like the sound of a certified inspection, but have no idea who does them, and how that process works.
    Trailer is at a dealer, but seems like all they ever do is annual DOTs.

    They will tell what issue the trailer has. What type of trailer are looking at?

    I almost never trust a dealership to be honest and forthcoming.

    I understand some people are still honest & some are not. I've dealt with a few of them I mainly use to go to the one in Carlisle pa for parts. We did look at a trailer in Coopersburg one time. It wasn't worth it. I've been to swedesboro a few times. The experience have been good. For the trailer your intrested in I would have it looked at thoroughly for by someone who knows rgn's. Are they selling as is?
