Re: You Know The Saying "trailer is worth what you paid for the boat" **I Disagree**
Bro..we all hear you! You don't think this guy is owed anything, we get it.
I don't care if he payed a grand or 10 grand..why does that matter if its an "As Is" transaction?? Either way the dealer "technically" owes him nothing, so stop making a big deal about him only paying a grand.
Why did the dealer even bother looking over the trailer and making this guy think the trailer was road worthy? He should have said "We haven't looked at the trailer, it was traded in and we hold no liability in its condition" And had the customer sign to that agreement. At that point, its on the customer to decide whether he wants it or not.
But when the dealer tells the customer that their techs went through the trailer and gave it a good bill of health and the thing falls apart and could have killed somebody...now thats a totally different story.

Like I said before, you paid a grand for the boat and trailer, I would be surprised if the dealer does anything. I am sure that neither came with a warranty of any kind and both were probably sold as is for that price. A decent trailer for that boat is going to cost the dealer more than the boat was sold for, by quite a bit. They will probably offer to give you a few hundred bucks for the trailer or offer to give you a refund if they get the boat and trailer back. Which I would not do. The boat and drive system are worth way more than a grand if they work. I think the folks that are howling about the dealer making it right are forgetting the fact that you paid a grand for the package, IMHO the dealer owes you nothing other than an apology for not doing a better job of inspecting the trailer.
