Talk about rising prices of raw materials....
I bought a new stock trailer today and the dealer had 7 of the model trailer I purchased on hand....
The difference in price was by date of manufacture....all 7 of the trailers were identical....
Jan. 05 $11.899.00
Mar. 05 $12.236.00
Nov. 05 $12,666.00
Jan. 06 $13,144.00
Apr. 06 $13,597.00 had 3 of this date.....
The Salesman said they were all the same base price from the factory with SURCHARGES added by the manufacturer for the steaply rising cost of the aluminum.....if copper and lead are rising this fast our primers and gaschecks are gonna go thru the roof......maybe I aughta have stocked up on my raw materials instead a gettin' a new ride fer the livestock....:roll:
