Vehicle description

* 1999 International Auto Transport * * GALVANIZED, U-HAUL Single Auto * * 5 New CARLISLE Trailer Tires, 7/20 *
Before you and up for bid is my 1999 International Auto Transport manufactured expressly for U-HAUL. U-HAUL does NOT resell these galvanized auto transports. They will happily sell to the public the old pre-1994 Orange Steel transports, however, they are prone to rusting away as they go all over America.
Anyone that has ever rented one of these galvanized transports from U-HAUL, knows how effortlessly they tow. They are truly a one man (or woman) load, secure, and go setup. It is ideal for a small independent auto dealer, collector/hobbyist, or weekend autocross/drifter enthusiast.
The transport was purchased at auction by a Denver Police Officer (friend) at auction in 2007. He kept it until I purchased it in 2012. If I did not recently receive a serious health concern diagnosis, I intended to never sell it. I have had a Featherlite 3110 single car trailer, this is better with the ratchet down front tire system. Of note, International does NOT make these in a civilian for sale application either, they are exclusively for U-HAUL which explains why I had to have it when the opportunity presented. I had rented them for years and was determined to find one. I had purchased an orange steel one in New Mexico, upon media blasting it, swiss cheese was exposed. It was junk, I was disheartened and dumped it. This galvanized auto transport will never rust.
The dimensions of the trailer are as follows:
* The overall length is approximately 22", the deck area is 16".
* The distance between the fenders is 80", 6 feet, 8 inches, The left fender as can be seen, lowers for easy vehicle entry and egress.
* The deck tire surface length is 150". 12 feet, 6 inches
* The accommodating tire width of the deck in 19".
* The ramps pull out, but do NOT release, so there is no concern of ramp theft.
* There are 2 safety secure chains with hooks front and rear of the transport, there are 3 chains which secure the coupler/tongue to the tow hitch.
* The trailer has a surge brake, so there is no need for a brake controller on the tow vehicle, although I did have one for additional peace of mind.
* The safety chains generally present with rust once a year, there are easy and inexpensive to replace.
* The coupler also presents with surface rust once a year, I wire brush it off. A permanent solution would be to media blast and then powder coat it. Notwithstanding my diagnosis, I intended to do this in the spring.
* All lights, running, brake, license plate illumination and turn signal"s are fully operational.
* The trailer weighs just 2000 lbs. The weight rating capacity is conservatively rated at 4500 lbs, I have had 5500 on it with an older ("70"s) Ford 1/2 ton truck which it easily pulled.
* Axle bearings are self lubricating.
* 5 brand new CARLISLE trailer tires July of 2020. ($500.00) The wheels on the trailer are in good condition, the spare wheel has never necessitated mounted, it is brand new.
* Crank down to raise & lower the front of the trailer works properly.
* 4 prong connector
I have a reserve, it is reasonable and fair, please do not ask what it is, as I will not disclose it. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the 1999 International Galvanized Single Auto Transport that you see before you. For anyone not wanting to risk losing the trailer, call me directly to discuss a "buy it now". DO NOT call and ask me "what"s the lowest that you"ll take?" It is in the price range of a Featherlite 3110.
It"s the last single auto trailer you"ll ever have to buy, and you simply will not find another one of these International galvanized transport trailers for sale anywhere, I guarantee it. Doubt me, please do a cursory search.
Clean Colorado title in my name with all legal supporting release documentation from U-HAUL.

A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable within 24 hours of auction close via PayPal NO exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 7 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance, however, I will accept cash in person if you are to arrive and trailer it home for yourself within 7 days of auction close.
S hipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. I will gladly work to coordinate with your chosen shipper, or to store the trailer for a reasonable time frame while you coordinate your schedule, provided that the trailer has been paid for in full.
If you choose to drive down and trailer it yourself, once it has been paid for in full, I will overnight the title and bill of sale to the new owner. If you drive down and prefer, I can hand deliver these documents to you upon your arrival.
I do NOT accept PayPal for the entire purchase price, only the initial $1000.00 payment.
Thanks for looking, and good luck when you bid! You"ll be glad you did.
