   Hey Kessler,

   I live in Austin, but I have two suggestions. 

   1.  Craigslist for dallas.  I find alot of stuff that way

   2.  Renco Supply in Pflugerville.  I just purchased a new 16' tandem axle  3500lb capacity from them for $1025.  It was almost half the price of Magnum or Stone with new tires.  (512) 251-2421. 

   Good Luck

   Bruce

   That price included tires?  Excellent!

   Yes, completely new trailer with new tires.

   I was shocked when I pulled into the place.  My secretary found the trailer on Craigslist and I thought is was used.  I pull in and there are rows of new trailers. 

   Nice folks.

   You can typically get a 16' tandem with used tires (no brakes) for about $800 in KY.

   About three weeks ago I decided we needed to get one.  We found that the ads in the paper were sold before the ad hit the paper.  The ads on Craigslist were sold by 9 am the following day they were posted.  Most around $1000 for used trailer, used tires and no brakes.  I could not believe the price of the that new one.

   Now I just need a big ole truck that will let me get a 3500 # load on the trailer.  My Toyota pickup does well upto about 1500# but gets very unhappy much after that.  Just new to convince DW that this a necessary purchase.

   My Toyota's like that. It's comfortable with 1500 in the bed, but 2000 is real scary.

   Lucky, I only had to go 1/2 mile.SamT

   Here's a great way to make that load a little less scary (makes an amazing difference empty as well).  I put them on my Toyota (barely) half-ton and have comfortably hauled 1700#'s.
