We're looking to find a trailer, and have a limited budget. Found this one:
https://www.rvvaluemart.com/product/used-2006-starcraft-antigua-305qbs-1623698-29
It's under our budget, and looks nice inside. They say:
Needs a little TLC and exterior detail to make it nice for the price-Sold AS-IS
But they had no more details on their page. (Still don't at time of posting this.) I emailed them for a few more details, and a few days later I got this:
The 2006 Starcraft is still available. To see pricing and detailed information, please see;
https://www.rvvaluemart.com/rv-search?s=true&stocknumber=starcraft
Please let me know if you would like to take a look at it.
I know I'm not looking at the shiny new BIG MONEY trailers, but doesn't seem like they're even trying.

Their comment "Sold As Is" is a Red Flag. Do you feel Lucky? It could be a good deal with only minor work required or it could just turn into a "Money Pit On Wheels".
Go look at it if close enough and maybe bring along an RVing friend for another set of eyes.
Red flag? It’s 15 years old. Advertising it with any sort of warranty would actually be a red flag! Lol.
That said, the original question is a bit silly. If you’re interested in buying a used (vehicle/ RV/etc), why wouldn’t you make your best initial assessment and go look at it in person?
It is not for sale on Amazon and this is not an issue that the internet can help you with.
If it’s a solid candidate verify in person.

Yes picture shows the exterior does need TLC, a lot of elbow grease, but what else hasn’t been taken care of. Tires, brakes and wheel bearings.

It was undoubtedly a trade-in. The sales people won't make jack on this deal. They need it off the lot to make space for more profitable things.
There are not many pictures that show ceiling, and the one where the A/C is has some shadows. If those are water spots, don't just walk away, RUN!!!
You need to go and see this and it would be even better if you could take a friend that has had bed experiences with RVs with you. 6K$us is barely worth hiring an inspector, but you should ask and you might get one.
I hope it works out for you.

Keyboard buying is remote and impersonal, photos tend to lie and misrepresent the actual condition.
Ads are placed to entice you to go see it in person.
If it close enough to you, go and see it in person then make your choice.

They probably aren't going to spend a lot of time with you discussing a $6k trailer.
Is this very far from you? Can you swing by and see it in person?
Are you experienced enough to inspect it yourself to figure out all of the options and see where the bodies are buried? If not, search for a mobile tech in your area and see if you can hire him/her to spend an hour or two going through the rig for you. It would be money well spent, plus it might give you some negotiating points.
It's a sellers' market right now, so there's no telling how much time they'll be willing to spend with you on this sale.
Good luck! 🙂
