help!!! where are all the second hand 510s!!

[ThePony]

Hi All,
I have been looking for a good condition Ifor Williams 510 for ages now. They all seem to be the other end of the country! Is this a bad time of year to be looking for one or am I missing something else?
I have been looking at all the big hrose sale websites, is there somewhere else you would suggest? No joy in local tack shops either. Just need one within about 100 miles of Gloucestershire, surely not too much too ask?!!

i've just had the opposite up here! i wanted a 505 and they were all 510's so yup = all miles away from you i'm afraid!

Ralph Bailey trailers at Bridgwater usually have a good selection. Have you tried them?

 

[chrisnapthineEDT]

my brother went to price a new one the other day and dealer told him if you can claim the vat back its far better buying a new one as second hand ones are running at nearly new prices

 

[beckieswann]

that's the same with all vechiles as well!!

 

[chrisnapthineEDT]

i was quite supprised actually how much a new one was,,he is going to buy a new one then possibly hire it out to odd people then the extra money will be earnt back and will lose relativly little compared to a secondhand one and at least you know its not been ragged about bumped ect..have a ring around there is some nice ex demo ones at dealers and now is the time to get a deal out of them

there dont seem to be many going around - am also looking for a newish one and they all seem to be in Yorkshire.

Try freeads and horsequest, they seem to come up on there but are sold within days.

???? does this apply to anyone? would you know where to find any info
Thanks

by claiming the vat back if you aren't using the trailer for business reasons you are commiting fraud- we thought about buying a new trailer through my mum's retail business but decided it was too risky.

to OP, we are looking at selling our 510 soon and are easily within 100 miles of Gloucs- pm me if you want.

unfortunatly there's no way I could wangle the business angle, more's the pity!
Shall just have to keep my eyes peeled!
Millitiger, you will have a pm shortly.
Thanks guys!
