Cheap ally trailers on Gumtree

 Has anyone got one of those cheap (5-6k) ally trailers advertised on Gumtree?

Sold by one of the boat mobs in wangara I think? Any good?

Sorry can't get the link to work.

Someone bought a cheap trailer from the new boat shop on Prindiville Dve Wangara (Seabreeze i think its called) a few weeks back and had a list of complaints about it. Some of the complaints were dodgy/rough welding, loose nuts and bolts and wiring for the mudguard lights dangling loose next to the wheels. Apparently they're imported in boxes and assembled in the shop. If you do get one, go over it with a fine tooth comb before parting with your moola
