Your best bet is to go to the section at the top of the page'Horse trailers for sale" and choose a state,and,then enter in your requirements. I did a quick search and pulled up 30 for sale.(Well,a few are already sold but there are 2 pages.) Nice looking Sooner,1999 model,check it out.Priced nice.

I would be very cautious buying from a particular the dealer in Cummings, Ga. Have not had good results trying to get warranty work completed.
Before buying ask for specific info from the list regarding the dealer, trailer & conversion company. Better to find out who your dealing with before you make this purchase. I learned the hard way.

Keep looking ~ there are deals to be had. My friend recently bought a 2006 Bison Stratus 10'sw (that is actually 12') for $28,000k and I just saw a 16'sw with a slide go for $34k in California. The saying "if it is too good to be true", it usually is.
I understand not wanting to go into debt, but in my personal shopping history (I have owned 3 LQ trailers, 7', 10' and now 12'), the $25k price range for an all aluminum trailer is on the very low side unless you get an older, older model or someone who just really wants out...and then you need to be careful what you are buying, what works and what doesn't and how much it will cost to get it all fixed. Bearings, brakes, wheels, a/c and refridge parts are a few of the problems that will cost you $$$ for parts and even more $$$$$ with high labor rates to get fixed.
I am hoping that you will prove me wrong! It is a buyers market. So send me pictures when you find your dream...Happy shopping, it can be fun!!!

I think horse trailers in general are way over priced for what they are.Someone ought to be making a killing on them.Manufacture? Add a LQ and they are outa sight.

Nope.Retired. Compare some small cars,big motorcycles,boats to same price horse trailers.LOTS more engineering,machining,glass,parts and so on then a livestock trailer in the same price range. The Exiss CX300 I bought had a MSRP of $17000.So did PT Cruiser with AC,Harley Road King,John Deer tractor etc.The CX 300 is simple to make,no big engineering feat compared to those other items I mentioned.Big difference in my book.

Yes,plenty of us have an Exiss or two,and,they are good trailers.I have a 3H 12'SW with LQ by Sierra and I have to say that the LQ is one of the prettiest and best laid out of any LQ's I've seen and we've seen a lot of them.The trailer is a good trailer,too.
Did anyone that said that give you specifics and instances of WHY they were advising you to "stay away from Exiss"? I'd get what I wanted and could afford and wouldn't worry about it.

I hear on the exiss sport models the cross membersd in the frame are coming loose and rivets are popping out from trailer flexing in binds, I hear the event models are better.

I have seen rivets pop out on other brand trailers,some of the brands mentioned earlier.
