    Something about if Mercer didn't get paid, then they would take back what was paid from the driver ??????
    I think maybe. Could be wrong, I have been wrong before I will be wrong again I'm sure.

    60 months. Mine is 425 a month plus 100 escrow. So 525 x 60 months equals $31,500. At the time for the same trailer the best i could find from a trailer dealer was 28k cash. Add in a reasonable finance charge and it was quite evident mercer isn't making much on these trailers.

    I grabbed a used one
    44 months at 535 with a purchase price of $1


    I reread the lease - technicaly I'm renting the trailer for 500 a month and a 35 a month administration fee and on 3/1/2020 I can buy the trailer for 1$

    I'll tell you they take care of the trailers that come back if you buy used , mine for example had new brakes . Some others had new tires .

    True but I got mine with 23 payments left new boxes and tires. I gues the utility's are higher becuse mine is $635 with $3700 left on the note at the end but I looked for a used and couldn't find a 2012 anywhere near 18,000 without the financing

    I'm assuming the trailers available through Mercer are combo trailers versus full aluminum?
