So, let me get this straight..
You built a trailer for a quote from an unknown to you online "dealer" website.
This online dealer responds with a too good to be true quote.
You can not find ANY info on this dealer.
To me the red flags are up and sirens are blaring warnings..
Seems to me pretty clear that you are taking a huge risk financially and might be taking a lot of lumps down the road..
Wouldn't it much better just to deal with dealers within DRIVING distance which you can get familiar with and KNOW WHO THEY ARE and where they live?
Even better yet is you are willing to gamble taking unknown faceless strangers advice over an open Internet forum as to the reputation of the unknown "dealer". Do you realize that it IS possible that someone could have created that dealer website AND become a member of this forum? It can and does happen..
Sometimes the lower price in the end will cost you MORE in the long run.
My favorite line from a TV commercial is "they can't post anything wrong on the Internet.. Where did you hear that?.. THE INTERNET.."
