Great trailer, and even better price.

Wish it was in Cali!

Great advice! Also pull out the "family" card. What better way is there for the whole family to spend the weekend together than going to the track with everyone piled in the same vehicle?

Shouldn't have posted about U-Haul.

Should have added flowers to the dinner. It'll probably take me a few more candlelight dinners, maybe a few baubles to bribe the CFO, and convince her it is not about utility or value, but it's about simply wanting the darn thing.

It's a great trailer, set up just right, great value. It shouldn't take you long to find a buyer. For me, maybe next time.

You will change your tune the week after that U-Haul trailer leaves you stranded. That is not an "If" but a "When."
Plus the fuel savings of pulling the lighter trailer will help pay for it. See if she buys those points.

Heh-heh . Thanks, guys. The problem is that over the last 6 years we've gone as far as VIR and Watkins Glen without trailers, and three tracks, Mid-Ohio, BeaveRun, and Nelsons, are within 1 1/2 hr's drive. We've always caravand, she and some of the kids in the family bus and me with one of the boys in the Porsche.

I laughingly hit her with "it's not about utility, I just want the darn thing" last night, and I'm still alive today . I'll get the trailer yet, just need time. That's how I got the tow vehicle .

Hey, maybe I can set up an accidental stranding with the U-Hual

Let's not hijach the thread. This is one great trailer for sale, and I would snap it up in a second if I could. As someone else said, finding a used trailex for sale is like finding teeth in a chicken. It's a rare bird.

Also you'll be pissed when you arrive at the U-haul place to pick up the trailer and in spite of a confirmed reservation, they don't have any. U-haul = evil company. I try to avoid them at all costs.

BTDT. It was no fun trying to find a replacement much, much further away and then to have to return it to the same place, not the first and closer place.

Love that trailer. Been looking for a used Trailex/Featherlite/ATC. Unfortunately evey one I see is on the east coast, and I am in Seattle.

Somebody should buy this trailer NOW. Great price!
The only reason he is selling is because he just bought my enclosed Trailex.
T.Roy, I will spread the word.
