So...i'm weighing up the cost of hire v the cost of buying.
DOnt want to go down the trailer route - ballsed up the test on first attempt, horse went lame.... sold the trailer/car two years ago and not keen to go back down that route. Been looking at the RM's they are v expensive but there are a few old ones second hand. How much would you expect to pay? It's cheaper maybe but then need to stump up the cash..i found a second hand one for 4K , 3 counties do them from 7,250 or thereabouts - but i dont know if there is any warranty with these - although there is the option of finance..does anyone have any experience of buying from them??
what would you expect to pay for an old style second hand one ie
3.5ton Renault master horsebox. P reg.
Professionally converted into a horsebox. Takes two horses facing backwards. Space over cab for storage and tack storage in the back. Whip holder, bridle hooks and many other hooks and storage shelves inside. Also two grooming kit holders on the inside of both doors. Lovely low ramp, great for fussy loaders. CD player and very tidy cab to seat 3. Really lovely little lorry. Used regularly by 5'2" lady for the last few years but is now not needed. There is no spring on the ramp but as it is small i can do it on my own. Equimat matting to the floor and walls in the horse area.
Mot until end november 2015. (No tax as you cant transfer it anymore) has literally done less than 30 miles since its mot!
No heater in the cab as its broken but we just used a little plug in one that goes in the cigarette lighter if we needed one. Cracked rear light. Apart from that shes a good runner and has never let me down.
