Whats the best place to buy an enclosed trailer in Oregon???
I don't necessarily want bottom of the line, but also do not want to pay top price either.
Where's a good place to purchase a new enclosed trailer 8' X 20' for around 5-6 grand?? (is this even possible)??? I see enclosed trailers at the coast and the owners have said that they paid under 6 grand for them, but I cannot seem to find them for that price anywhere?? HELP!!

There are some huge manufacturing facilities scattered across the country that make these things (in the heartland where labor and overhead are cheap). I dont think you will be so price lucky around here,,,,where it is primarily distribution yards which have already factored destination cost. You can save a lot of money if you pick it up (which would cost another $1000 in gas or more).
Ebay is a good barometer for market price. Do some searching,,,,maybe even call one of these places and see if they have one sitting somewhere that suits your needs. I have seen parking lots off hwy 80 and 70 with literally thousands of trailers on them.

That is pretty a ambiguous question. What type of trailer do you want? A car hauler? A utility trailer etc? Prices are going to be all over the place depending on what you want on it etc. I just had a custom PACE trailer made and it cost over 14K. But I got extra height, all insulated, all alluminum floor instead of wood, and alluminum walls and ceiling. Added 5 lights, 3 doors, cabinets inside and it has heat/AC. Much more than the average guy needs.. I'd look for a used race car trailer for that price range.. Millenium has the cheapest prices, but they will be 9K and up new

I'm looking for a car hauler, or utility trailer, either one. Preferrably V-nosed, but it does not have to be. 8 ft wide by 20 ft long (at least).
Well then, check out my personal page. What you will find is a Pace American 22 ft v-nose. The basic box is 16 ft, and the V is 3 ft. Mine has extra height and a lot of costly extras that you don't need generally. I have them for a business I run out of the trailer... but you could get by a lot cheaper. I think the base price on this one is around 5K, but with all the custom stuff, it came in for just over 14K.
You should find several manufacturers out there that are comparably priced. PACE, Haulmark, Utility etc. ALL make the same basic trailer for the same price point. If you can live with the wood interior and floor, you should be good to go. I'd still talk to some racers though, you should be able to get a 20 ft care hauler for under 5K used.
It is too bad you are not near Indiana... you could find hundreds of these at dealer cost. that is where a lot of them are made. Mine came from Georgia.. and I'd stay as far away from those good ol boys in Fitzgerald as I could. Lets just say I had "Issues" with the factory guys there. Haulmark was right next door.
