I do realize it's only $1000 and you get what you pay for, even so I
don't mind if there will be some initial repairs that "restore" it so
long as it's not about to go permanently and it's a money pit that we
should give a very wide berth. I'm simply trying to discern which is
which.
They should give you the thing free for hauling it away.
You're much more generous than me, I was going to say they should pay
him for hauling the trash off their property... could be a herculean
task, darn thing may not have usable wheels, and unless it's moving
around the corner in the middle of the night it'll need registration,
inspection, and insurance... and if oversize a permit.
In my part of the country things are a bit different.
I'm assuming this is a house trailer, not a travel trailer. To
haul a house trailer down the road doesn't require a registration
here, or inspection. If you're using a truck to haul it, then
the truck carries the insurance required by law. Even if it is a
travel trailer class, we have the 1st 24 hours after purchase to
move it on the highways (applies to cars & trucks too) without
having to be registered. Automotive insurance in my little corner
of the world automatically immediately picks up liability for newly
purchased vehicles, with 48 hours or so to notify the carrier of
the additional vehicle.
As far as "wide load" is concerned, if I weren't hauling it a very
great distance I'd just haul it and risk the fine which costs a
whole lot less than hiring a lead truck and a trail truck and the
permits, etc.
If I were only hauling it a few miles I'd hook it to one of my
agricultural tractors and avoid all the hassle entirely. Agricultural
stuff doesn't require registration or insurance here. I'd have a
following truck with flashers and ride the shoulders wherever possible,
as I do with ag equipment anyway.
In the worse of all cases, I'd have to hire a firm which moves trailers
regularly. They always have wheels and tires available to loan for cases
where there are no tires on the trailer they contract to haul. And
in this part of the country so many are being scrapped every year that
a 1 trip usable set of wheels & tires can be had quite cheaply.
I have a three bedroom double-wide pre-fab house on my property (not a
trailer). It's perfectly sound and in great condition, no leaks (has a
2 yr old architectural roof).

I'd certainly go for it if you were within reasonable hauling distance.
I presently have two great vacant home sites so I'm looking for a couple
of good deals. I'll find them in time.
