Is there a good place to find how to price a used horse trailer?
Can anyone here give me some insight?
I have a 2003 4 Star 2 horse slant goose neck/no escape door.
Good floor and new tires. However it has some cosmetic damage.
I would say the trailer is in fair condition.
The cover over the vent in the dressing room blew on the interstate during a rain storm. The interior carpet has been wet and the cover needs to be replaced. Some of the lights have been broken off, and one drop down window bar is bent. Has some minimal rust.
Would I be better off to fix all the things on it and sell it? I have someone interested in buying it local but having a hard time knowing how to price it.
I know 4 star trailers are great quality but mine has had some wear and tear on it.

Thank you!
i would call that poor condition - also it is probably an all aluminum trailer therefore should not (will not) be rusting. if it is corroding...I'd be wondering why.

I've been trying to sell my 3 horse weekender to downsize to a 4star 2 horse with dressing room. Because of this, I've been casually looking to see what is out there in case I sell mine. The ones in good condition are priced around $12,000 +/- $1000 if that helps. It sounds like yours might need a couple grand of work put into it.

The subframe and the goosesneck hitch, axles, and landing gear are steel and will rust.
