$6 for the pair at the swap meet new. I couldn't turn that down. The aluminum flat stock and the stainless steel bolts I already had. Cheap addition.

Another really good, aluminum trailer manufacturer:

Welded aluminum front caps. Weatherproof, sunproof and strong. :thumbsup:

My guess is that the reserve price is about $4 grand. Yeah, that's a deal for an aluminum V-nose with side door and diamond plate stone guard. That model is about $6 grand new.

There's a 12 ft. V-nose steel trailer here on a lot with side door and stone guard for $4,250.

New trailers have gone up about 20-25% in the last 3 years.

:( My trailer got exiled to an out-of-sight camping space at a recent, large, teardrop gathering. :(

I know about expense. With all the options, I am almost up to 11K on a 7X12 V nose Wells Cargo

No labor from me. I think the base was around $5200.00 Just had a bunch of options added. Diamond plate floors, AC/Heat,cabinets, isulation, two axels and a bunch of other options. Mostly for my business but going to take it camping too. Will post photos from Wells Cargo factory as it is being built

Just looked at the retail quote. MSRP is $11,654.00 They knocked a few dollars off making the sale price $10,061.00 We have two Wells Cargo dealers around here. The other would not discount at all.

:D Wow! That's a 13.66% discount.

Way to do it right!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

When you take delivery, you could drive past that other dealership, beeping and waving. :eyebrows:

Prem...The discount dealer is outside of Dallas. Sort of in the country. The other dealer is more in town. In town dealer are nice folks but not much on giving discounts. I know some will believe I paid too much but the problem was finding a trailer with added height for our business. Used tall trailers are hard to find in this size.
