Dealing on a new trailer

Looking for something simple--only reqirements are 22ft and 5k axles. Looking new. What kind of bargaining room is there on these? Is there a trailer version of kelly blue book?

Not interested in used.

One suggestion--either go down 2' or up 2' in length as people like trailers in 4' increments (20,24,28,32) and you may have a really hard time selling the off size when you want to upgrade. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a 22' on the used market, may be once or twice, and 26s aren't much more common. A club racer (Dadgar?) had a lot of trouble selling his 26' when he changed trailers.

Just something to think about--I would find a way to cram into a 20' or a way to store the 24'.

Let me try again..... Here are two different companies who I have been scoping out. Both are located in Georgia.

Team spirit trailers are built up in Elkhart In. I found a dealer about 30 mi from the manuf and he only charged me a few hundred over cost and no markup for options. Saved almost $4k for what I would have paid for it down here. Pm me your email and I'll send you all the specifics on Monday.

Oh ya, the best site to look for trailers new/used is racingjunk.com
