Did the ad say,"starting at $649" for the trailers. Because if it didn't have any small print in the ad itself, legally they have to sell at advertised price.

wow, thanks for the heads up :div20:

a bud of mine went down there to look at gooseneck flatbed trailers
to haul his antique gas pulling tractors with. he said they were outragous
on priceing and didn't seem to want to deal at all niether.

they are only about 45 sw of me.

I looked around for good trailers then looked for deals on trailers. I would tell you to call Tim and Kelly and Sons trailers in Carleton (sp), south of Detroit. No this not a paid advertisement, I just like the trailer they sold me and am very happy with their service. Kelly and Sons have a booth at the Novi show every year. Happy hunting and I am with you, I will never buy from Beck's.

i heard if you go to ohio or indiana, where most of the trailers are built you can get them alot cheaper than up in michigan.

As long as they had one at the time the ad was placed, it's good. But, you know, they always sell it before you get there...

Legal or not, that's low. I'll steer clear of that place for sure.

If anyone is interested in an enclosed trailer PM me. I work with a distributor/dealer by the name of Dick Ouding. Dick's company is Safe Energy trailers and he deals with United trailers (formerly United Expressline) Dicks specialty is multi sled enclosed. I purchased an enclosed 4 place a few years back and I've referred several friends who have purchased through him as well.

Dick will not be beat on price. You can't work with a better guy. Dick's also a professional top fuel drag racer so he can work with you if your looking for a car hauler or toter home as well.

There is always a fee for freight and assembly, for snowmobiles, atv, car, camper, ect. But they should have mentioned it.
They didn't try to help you, I guess that is their loss.
