My wife found a 2007 Merhow 3 Horse Weekender GN with a Verylite chassis. It appears from the photos to be in very good shape. They are asking $9000.00. Does that seem like a good price? I did a little searching on the internet...older versions are selling for a lot more. What problem areas should I be looking at?

The Verylite trailer is the top of the Merhow line. It is a whole trailer not a "chassis." Unless the trailer has been wrecked or squashed, that is a too good to be true price. Be careful.

The Trailer listed on Craigslist is an Equistar "Steel Frame, Aluminum Skin. Not a Verylite. The Equistar seems low based on other trailers of the same year and model. The conversion would retail for something close to 9,000.00 new. A Verylite should sell for 25% to 30% more than an Equistar.

Thanks for your responces!
A little more info...The listing is on the Binghamton, NY craigslist, but is located in Denver, CO. I thought that was strange. Over 1650 miles away. The craigslist number is http://binghamton.craigslist.org/grd/1450459480.html that is a different number than retento listed, but it sounds like the same trailer.

The photos on the craigslist ad are from a trailer on ebay that just sold for $19,000. It's kind of interesting that the reply to my email said the trailer was in Denver but it's not listed on Denver craiglist. Hmmmm The Craigslist ad has been flagged and/or removed from most cities.
"Hello, The 2006 Featherlite Aluminium 2 Horse Trailer is still available for sale for 4,000$ , it's in perfect working order. I'm selling it because I am very close to bankruptcy and I need money to pay my debts. It's located in Billings MT, I will take care of the shipping which is included in the price. You will get the vehicle with all the proper papers, title, bill of sale signed by me as well."
The trailer is not found on Billings Craigslist, odd. You would think that someone would rather sell locally than pay $1,000 to have it shipped all the way to Florida. Esp when It is already priced too low.
