Just talked to the Owner, it is a 2002 Bushtech, small crack in lower back fender, can see in pic, and he needs to put a new lock on it. It's about 5 hours from me. He bought 7 years ago, selling because he can't tow it w/his new street glide. Is it worth considering ?

Looks like a good trailer to me, get somebody who knows fiberglass to repair fender, and while you're at it, redo both fenders and get rid of the Harley taillights. But I would offer a little less.

I would consider it the roadstar Gt, 2 tone paint, cooler up front, bra, lights inside. But it's 12 years old, not like I can go and quick look at it and a little more is always wrong than they lead on and it is 12 years old.

In todays world, that would be a $5,000 + trailer. Put a few hundred bucks in it and I would have a nice trailer.

looks to be worth 1500 all day long IMO does look awful HD like though

I saw one of these today behind a road king. Looks better in person than in picture. It's new and same price.

It's about an hour from me. If you need someone to pick it up for you and sit on it for a few weeks until you can get it just let me know.

Chop check and see bushtec trailers use air bags to compensate for various loads. Might not hold air sounds xpensive to repair. Have heard both good and bad good luck.p.s. tailwind trrailers are 7000+ dollars.

Am still looking for a trailer, have (1) '94 Bushtec Turbo 2,w/in 60 miles of me, original owner,spare tire, cooler, maybe a couple of other things, very good shape, asking $1,500.00. A '95 Roadstar, 7 hours away, picture looks good and guy says it has a few stone chips..., asking $1,800.00, lets face it, they are both 20 years old, have to expect some things. I would have to repaint either one, to black of course, the fastest trailer color.:icon_biggrin: I lean towards the Roadstar, I like the style, but the Turbo 2 is so close. Input please. Thanks in advance.

You guys that have trailer hitches, mine is lowered 1", will that play into me running into problems w/a trailer hitch ?

Choptop, are you checking Minneapolis Craigslist? There are several on there now for under $2,000.

[Steve 0080]

One inch drop should not cause an issue....

Yes, have talked a couple of times w/the gentleman w/the Bushtec turbo, have not seen yet. The only other one I like is the Bushtec roadstar but it is to much money.

Are you only interested in Bushtec trailers?

When I was researching trailers, Bushtec was one of the best, if not the best, but expensive. One comment I read and heard was that keeping the air suspension at the proper setting for the load was an annoyance.

[Westernbiker]

I have towed three different brands/types of trailers in my days and in my opinion (And we all know about those) Bushtec trailer I still have and use is the best.

Looked at a '98 Roadstar last week, pretty good shape, has cooler, but I would need to paint it to match the trailer, Guy was asking $2,200. Said he would let it go for $1,880., I offered $1,700.. he want's $1,750.00... The $50.00 is not that big of a thing but by the time I spend $550.00 to have it prepped and painted w/clear coat I am into it for $2,300.00 and it still is not perfect. I can get a new Roadstar from Bushtec, bra in front, black, cooler, no clear, just your basic for $3,300 + whatever and it would be new. Their is a thousand dollors difference their and maybe used/painted is da way to go...

2014 model .....
New Tires, New wheel bearings, New materials, New warranty, "0" wear and tear, factory painted, no damage, YOUR time wasted to fix old unit to acceptable yet NOT New condition, YOUR time and fuel wasted looking for a used trailer ..... blah blah blah

This old 1998 trailer is not worth more than $1,500 in my eyes.

I would go for the NEW unit for peace of mind and it's not 16 years old that would compromise the re-sale value. Just my 2 cents :shrug:

My head tells me that but my impulse buyer side says buy it, but I am w/you. Wing Ding in Madison, July 4th weekend, I could have them bring one up for me and I can have a hitch installed and go, but for the $1,000 diff, I could have the hitch installed...

If you are thinking about new then that means you have the money for new.Just get new.With the new you are done and ready to fill it and roll.I hate used things.I never had good luck with them.Plus you get that fresh new trailer smell and man I love that new car smell :icon_biggrin: .batman-smilie.

I don't know squat when it comes to trailers but this site sells one that looks the same but they call it a Heritage. Is the Heritage made by Bushtec?:shrug: new for what seems like a reasonable price - delivered.

Are these things all derived from the same mold and purchased by different companies then sold with different branding?
