    The bottom line is, even with rust, it should last at least 10 yrs. before real problems start. Mines an 08, floor just developed a soft spot, the rusty frame, and side rails are still good. Doors are falling apart. Time to get a newer one, before the big problems start. Paid $11k, 5 yrs ago. If I get $5k for it now, I’ll be happy. Served its purpose. They definitely have a life expectancy, then only good for storage.

    By the way ...


    A lot of trailer wheels are powder coated and hide rust.

    I already have financing setup for it and I've been parked for a really long time.

    We don't have the luxury of time anymore and I need to get to work.

    I just think I'm being a spazz about buying my first trailer.

    It's actually not that bad. I went to go look at it again and it looks like a solid unit that's about 6 years old.

    I appreciate all of the responses to this thread.

    Take care
