700.00 right now and may not go any further. Way things going on eBay may not. But if it really good Reefer it got along way before you can get it if they have a reserve price on it, and most of them will at that low start up price.

Good Luck

Yeah I'm actually after a stoughton air ride 53 their where I bid $6,500,year is 94.
What peeked my interest was that the guy is just 15-30 miles away from me with the trailer. Versus trying to get a one way trailer out to a low ball trailer dealer somewhere in the south (I just seem to find lower prices in the south)
I was suprised too, yesterday to find out I dont have enough insurance for one way trailer to haul for them, they want 35,000 on a non-owned tarailer I am jauling and my policy covers onloy up to 20,000 ....hmmm doubt I would get enough business to make it worth a change.
Yeah some dealer in Az (around Phoenix) has some spring trailers for a little over 9k, 1995's, but as I understand most brokers insist on air ride.......does anyone know if thats true?

I'm looking at my tag right now. $36.00 for the initial registration because you have to pay for the plate. Renewable every 5 years and currently, if I remember right, the renewal is either $18 or $20. It's listed at the DMV's website.

I was looking at some trailers online, and saw a few Dry Vans for as low as 3695.00. But look at the susp. Springs. or they are 48', 45', But did see some Air Rides for 8650.00 and 9500.00.. These were in Atlanta, bit far from you.

Thks....yeah thats what I aam thinking of spending 8,000 -10,000 for a 97-2000 I hope, 53, and airride.
Hmmm the game plan was just to get a one way trailer out ther to make a little $ on the trip, if the dealer had a couple I was interested in, but that plan seems to be falling apart on me ;-p (cuz my insurance only covers 20,000 not 35,000 like they wanted n doubt its worth the change)

Hey Pepe, there is a nice van on e-bay for $6900 buy it now.
It's a 1993 Kentucky 53'. Little bit old, but it was in really nice shape.
It had alum wheels also. :P

pepe,

Why not buy a trailer at the same type of auction you got the truck at ?

Have you checked Ryder? They're not far from you.

Thks sid, but I coulda swore thats the one with a hole in the floor?
Yeah the guy with the Stoughton is close; thats why I tried e-bay for him, I can go over and see it before I actually pay for it, kinda picky about buying anything I cant see before I pay, and if I decide not cuz of something shady, I only drove about 15 miles to see him
Yeah Big....woulda bought it then, but some Chipy got all hard ass with me,(on the phone when asking his advice) and said if I drove into Ca, without my authority being active, he would throw the book at me and impound me, so I snuck in just bob-tailing which I thought might be easier.....turns out I coulda made it I think hauling the trailer, but wasnt sure.

You can get by just fine pulling a dry van with spring suspension. None of the big companies have air-ride equipment. However, your body will appreciate the air-ride.
