I am planning to purchase a Featherlite 3110 car trailer and am trying to get an idea of what it is worth. It is an all aluminum car trailer with an independant suspension. I have towed with this before and it is a real nice trailer. I am purchasing it from my brother so i want to pay him a fair price. Any ideas of what this is worth? it is a 2005 in good condition.

A little more info on trailer and accssories included would get you a closer approximation of value. Capacity of axles, dual brakes, tire rack, age and condition of tires, tool box, type of ramps, removable fender ?? All of these items have a bearing on worth. Base 18' Featherlite can run $5-6K - a loaded one can run $8-9K new. If it is in really good condition, it could bring 80% or so of the new price. I would research new prices based on accessories / features included and make an offer according to condition.

How much to replace it now with similar?

Never heard of such a thing.

I have the Featherlite 3110, congratulations on your choice. I paid $5,500 in early 2009 for mine and I've seen used ones for sale at around $4,000 to $4,500 asking prices.

Mousecatcher,
It has Dexter Torqueflex axles that allow each wheel to operate independently.

Going by the above and if you really like him I think 3800 is fair after 5 years.

I think John's about on target especially since it was about four years ago that aluminum took a big price jump.

Truth is in today,s market everything is going for squat buyer market for everything.

Aluminum is very nice, light and doesn't rust but expensive. Steel is much less expensive but comes at a cost of weight and rust. What will you be towing with?

Thanks guys. I have a 2007 Z. In the past I have trailered a steel car trailer, this aluminum trailer is really awesome. On bumpy roads it does not move around at all.
