Location: Minnesota		I have found 2 trailers that we really like so far the first one is a 2002 Exiss it says the event on the back. It is a 4H with a loading ramp, dressing room and fold-up rear tack.
The other one is a 2009 Kiefer Built Genesis 4H with dressing room, and fold-up rear tack.
Which one would be better?

They are both good trailers and quite comparable in materials and build quality. The "Event" and "Genesis" are both top of the line for these manufacturers. Price, condition, age and options would  make one more valuable than the other.With a 7 year age difference, you're really not comparing apples to apples.

Pull the mats and inspect the flooring, especially the older Exiss. If it's in excellent condition, it's lower price would be an advantage since most of its depreciation is over. The newer Kiefer will devalue much more at first.

Location: Minnesota		They both have about the same options in them except the dressing room in the Kiefer is larger. The Exiss is $3000 cheaper than the Kiefer. We havent inspected the flooring yet but the exterior and everything looks excellent.
