Location: huntingtown, MD 20639 |  I am looking to buy a used 2 horse bp straightload with dressing room. Not too worried about the make so much as it must be good quality, safe, lightweight (not steel, but steel frame OK) and hold it's value. I plan on replacing it in a few years with a GN, but just can't afford a new truck at the moment. So what 2 horse bps are worth buying and hold their value or at least don't depreciate radically in a few years?

Location: Texas | If you are buying it used already, depreciation will be almost zero. Especially with an aluminum trailer. As the price of aluminum and steel rises, the price of new trailers rise. Quality used trailers have actually been known to appreciate at times. |

Location: huntingtown, MD 20639 | I'm heading up to my local dealer to take a look. Doesn't hurt to look! I wonder how well these trailers hold up. I think they've been around for awhile. |
