Benefits of Buying a Used Horse Trailer

Used horse trailers are a great option for transporting your animals without breaking the bank. They are more affordable than their new counterparts, but the financial savings are only the beginning! These models offer plenty of advantages, which we discuss below. If you want more information or want to shop used horse trailers for sale, head over to Double B Trailer Sales. We operate a dealership in Centerville, Utah, near Salt Lake City and Ogden. Our second location is in Hurricane, Utah, near St. George and Washington.

1. Save Money

Once a horse trailer leaves the dealership's lot, it begins losing value. The largest dip in depreciation usually happens during the first year. When you get a model that’s only a few years old, you can get a like-new horse trailer that has a lower sticker price.

There are plenty of reasons people sell trailers that still have plenty of life in them. Not all used horse trailers are in bad shape due to wear and tear! Maybe the owner wanted to upgrade to a newer model. Maybe they need a model that can fit more or fewer horses. With a little research, you can find quality used models for a fraction of the cost. This lower upfront cost can even allow you to get a higher end model than you could new.

2. Make a More Informed Purchase

Used horse trailers have been on the market for a while, which means their current owners have 'tested them out'. Owners often share their experiences with online reviews. Reading through these posts can give you valuable insight on the models' performance and quality.

Maybe you read that one model continually breaks down or causes discomfort in horses, so you scratch that option off your list. Maybe current owners praise a given model's functionality, so you prioritize it when you visit a used horse dealer. Take advantage of this insight to make a more informed purchase.

3. Enjoy First Time Owner Benefits

First time buyers should especially consider used horse trailers. After all, it's tough to make an informed purchase for an item you've never owned before. Will you really travel as often as you expect - and therefore should spend extra for a lighter model that offers better tow vehicle fuel efficiency? Will you really travel with multiple horses and need to buy a more expensive model with higher capacity? It's not uncommon for first time buyers to pass on features they wish they got or to pay extra for features they rarely use.

Getting a used horse trailer is a cost-efficient way of finding the model that suits your style. If the model doesn't fit your lifestyle as well as you thought, you can sell it without losing a huge chunk of its value to depreciation (as you would if you had purchased a new model).
