CAR MATE trailers....???

[augs dad]

Looking at a 6x12 or 14 dual axle with elec brakes. Yes these are made of angle iron which some of you don't like. Cost is about $1700. These are used alot in my area. Any opinions on this product?
Thanks,

Find a better trailer. We have a Car mate and 1 thing to say JUNK. metal on the sides is paper thin plywood is paper thin, the frame of the trailer twist so much sometimes it's hard to open the doors. Like most people we just needed an enclosed trailer right away and the dealer was 1/2 mi away. He had the trailer sitting out front with a sale sign on it for a cheap price, apparently someone ordered it it was too small and they wanted bigger. I took advantage of the deal I think I paid $3200 for it, it's a 7 1/2' x 16' with a 4' side door ramp gate lights and vents. should have shopped around bought the trailer 3 yrs ago used it for 2 1/2 years cutting grass and now we use it for a site trailer for tool storage. My buddy bought a similar trailer at the same time called a midwest cargo from a dealer about 1 hr away paid $1000 more but his trailer still is in new condition with no major problems.

Landman,
I don't want to spend the money for enclosed trailer...should I assume their non-enclosed are junk as well? Thanks
