    $2000. Is a pretty good deal. Depending on the hours you have on the unit you have installed, you will have a good piece of equipment for less than $10k

    What kind of condition is the rest of the trailer! Inside? Are the walls torn up! Any holes in the floor, with exception of drain holes that is, if the trailer is in great shape? $2000. Is a good price

    You can junk it out at the scrap yard for over 2,000 bucks.I have sold old, complete junk 45 & 48 no unit insulated reefer trailers for around 2 grand. Especially with a side door.

    Don't shy to get on the roof and check. Holes, floppy roof stay away from this deal.
