From what you are describing, I looked at one that was about the same and told them I would give them $200.00 so I could turn it into a flatbed trailer for my wheelers. You will be into it some big $$$ if you decide to rebuild it. May be better to walk away.
Did they accept or reject your offer?
I also just want it for the frame and tanks.

The following is a true conversation I had with one of our workers in my role as a golf course mechanic and a crew member at a Suburban upscale golf course:
Him: This string trimmer won't run, where do I throw it away?
Me: Around here, we don't trash them, we fix them. Let me have it. It will be a few minutes.
Him: Why don't you just pitch it and give me another one?
Me: Let me ask you, if your parents have a string trimmer and it quits running to do you throw it away?
Him: Yes
Me: OK, if your parents have a lawn mower and it breaks do you throw it away?
Him: Yes
Me: Alright. That BMW you drove in here with today, if it breaks are you going to throw it away?
Him: No, we would get it fixed.
Me: Well, around here, all our equipment is treated like a BMW, we don't throw it away when broken. :B

Wow some testy misers here. Hence the reason I don't hang out here much anymore. Many others agree with my common sense approach to run the other way from this deal but for those who obviously think it's the greatest deal since "just wait there's more" home shopping network - all I can say is - smh. Tah.

NADA isn't much use when it comes to anything older than 1995. After that, all the values for a 29' trailer are the same: low $1725, average $2080.
I'm looking at a 1986 Terry that looks like it has to be completely rebuilt. If the tanks hold water, I'm good with rebuilding.
The ad says the value is $2000, has no a/c or refrigerator and needs minor updating. The pictures show mold across the ceiling and down the walls. Looks like nothing is salvagable inside. Windows and siding possibly can be reused. They are asking just under $1000.
What would you go by to make an offer, knowing you have to rebuild and buy all new fixtures/appliances?

The big issue for me is. You will never recoup your costs.
