2009 Escape 19' Needs Repair $5995 Portland Oregon

[heycurt]

The trailer was bought at an insurance auction in Graham, Washington the week before the listing. There were interior pictures included at the auction. Much of the interior was disturbed during the accident. The black marks up high are tire marks and the cracks continue over into the top. So, leakage into the trailer would have to be a given. I believe frame issues were also likely. It is likely the buyer got a chance to finish surveying the damage after the auction and decided to just "flip it" rather than repair it since the asking price in the Craigslist ad was not a lot over the auction close plus fees.

I did not bid on it due to the issues seen, the fact that a local inspector could not check out the hidden damage before the close of the auction, and the distance from Texas to deal with the likely frame damage. I'm glad I passed on it at this point at least. Maybe someone else is more adventurous!

Thanks for the additional info, heycurt

I wonder how Matt in SV's purchase went?

[Donna D.]

Okay Matt. I know you've looked at this topic at least FOUR times since you posted you were leaving for Oregon. Why aren't you posting the results of your buy?

[Vickie B.]

I was wondering that, too, Donna. Hope it's all good!

Thanks for changing the title back. I don't want to be incorrectly credited with claiming somebody is a fraud, whatever the case may be.

Hi Donna - All I had with me is my iPhone. We're back now with good news. I will start a new thread with some details!

Regards,

Matt

Thanks for responding Matt. I was afraid you were crying to hard to type! I've read the thread in Problem Solving. Sounds like you ended up with a trailer in much better shape than was described. I look forward to pictures and following the rebuild.
