Default towing question

I'm likely moving out of state and need to start considering towing options for the S. I've got a durango to pull it with, but no trailer. Uhaul's online quote was $500+ for a trailer which seems high to me. Any ideas?

that sounds way too high for a rental...
you could buy a used trailer for that much money..
in fact you should consider buying a trailer to tow it and sell it once you get to your destination...
chances are you'll break even...

I'd say about $500 and big enough to fit an S2000.

I love this answer lol..
but yeah I dont think a SAFE trailer would cost a mere $500.
I'd say close to $1000 for ones that latch the tires on and keep it safe but I'm not sure. Try going to one of those local crappy mechanics they seem to always have some used up ones that they dont use and maybe they can give it up for cheap.

Devious, I see you're in Ft Myers. This week Chin Motorsports is running Sebring, there are a couple of trailers for sale on the Chin Forum you could meet them at Sebring to buy it
