    Hello everyone. I am a new Testa owner inherited from my Dad. I want to sell his Flatbed. He used it to transport the car many years ago, but as you can see from the photos, it needs to be repaired since it's been baking out in the sun, and it needs new tires. An appraiser who recently appraised the Testarossa told me these flatbeds go for over $2000 new and a fair price for this one "as is" would be around $1000. Is that a fair price? All comments welcome.

    $1000 plus new tires, $300, repair/repack hubs $50, new wood deck $200.

    Buyer would be looking at $1550 for a road ready rusty trailer. Verses $2000 new?

    I dunno....

    What are the axles rated for? If their heavy duty 4500 + axles it would be worth at least a grand. If they are 3000# I would say $850

    I purchased a NEW flat bed 18 foot with two 3000# axles in Texas for $1100.00 its cheap but the wood, tires, frame is new.

    I need a trailer; do you have link to the maker of your $1100 trailer?

    Thanks everyone. I don't know what the axels are rated for -- I'm out of town right now unfortunately and the buyer is interested now. But this is being sold to someone I know so I told him $800. He might be getting a good deal I don't know, but I might also have a hard time selling this thing in it's condition so we both do well in the transaction if so.
