ARCHIVED: 13' Casita need overhaul

[Tim 972]

Hello,

I have a 13' casita that was once used as a jobsite trailer, this was purchase in an auction as part of a lot of equipment. I have no title! I started the tear down but lost steam on this project and decided to wait to find a 16' or 17'

Was wondering what a fair price would be on this?


I'm located in the Dallas area

Thanks!!

With no title you might as well sell it for parts, What year is it?

[Tim 972]

And why would I sell it for parts when I can get a homemade trailer title in Texas?

[Peter_Crowl]

Same would be true here in Colorado - but in a lot of states no title is the kiss of death. Miles of red tape before you can get to the blue tape.
Some states require a bond that would cost more than your trailer is worth - in its present condition.
Perhaps you could secure the HM tile and sell it with that so an out of state buyer won't have to be concerned about that - just the restoration issues.

Minnesota you need a valid title.

We have several very long threads that speak to the horrors of trying to obtain a title for an already purchased molded trailer. Based on that, living in Oregon which requires titles, I'd never purchase a trailer without one! YMMV

Then why are you asking? If you can get a homemade title then get it and then sell it, I'll give you $ 50.00 for it.

[Randy Bishop]

I'll give $55.00 not including shipping.....................And to also mention there's "NO" cushions,heater,converter,refrigerator,wiring/lights,cabinet doors,sink,holding tanks,gas tank,gas lines,door handles,door hinges, inside skin, and ect. ect.............

[Bruce Thomas]

how much are you asking?

[Tim 972]

Moderator please archive this thread, seeing it isn't worth my time I’ll just let it sit till I’m ready to rehb it.

[Peter_Crowl]

I'll double down on Bruce's question - what do you want?

Seriously...considering the cost to restore it as well as the cost to transport it to a buyers location it'd have to be under $500.

Hi Tim,
Please excuse the comments which are inconsiderate. Really I think range Peter cites is realistic and maybe generous.

[Bruce Thomas]

i'd still like to know either way what you're asking .
