When purchasing a used trailer in Illinois, consider factors such as the trailer's age, condition, weight capacity (GVWR and GAWR), dimensions, features (like refrigeration units or tilt decks), and maintenance history. Also, check the title status and ensure all documentation is in order. It's important to match the trailer type to your specific hauling needs and the capabilities of your tow vehicle.

Yes, Illinois has specific regulations for trailer ownership and use. Trailers over 3,000 lbs GVWR require registration with the Secretary of State. Additionally, trailers must comply with state equipment requirements, including proper lighting, reflectors, and safety chains. For commercial use, additional permits or certifications may be necessary depending on the trailer's size and intended use.

To evaluate a trailer's condition, carefully review the detailed description, specifications, and all available photos. Pay attention to information about the trailer's age, mileage (if applicable), weight capacities, and any noted repairs or issues. For many items, we provide maintenance records or repair histories. When possible, take advantage of inspection periods to examine the trailer in person or have a trusted mechanic perform an inspection.

Trailers suited for Illinois should be able to withstand varied weather conditions, including hot summers and cold winters. Enclosed trailers like dry vans or refrigerated trailers offer protection from the elements. For construction or agriculture, sturdy equipment trailers or end dump trailers are popular. Proper rust protection and regular maintenance are important for all trailers to withstand Illinois's seasonal changes and potential road salt exposure.

While Purple Wave doesn't offer direct financing, many buyers choose to finance their purchases through third-party lenders. We recommend securing financing before bidding, as our auctions require prompt payment. Local banks, credit unions, or specialized equipment lenders may offer trailer financing options. Be sure to factor in any additional costs like taxes, registration fees, and potential transportation expenses when planning your purchase.

Upon successful purchase and payment, you will receive the appropriate ownership documentation, which typically includes a bill of sale and the trailer's title. For most Illinois trailers, titles are distributed within 14 days of payment verification. Some sellers may have specific title distribution processes, which will be noted in the item description. Always review the listing carefully for any special notes regarding documentation or title status.

Buyers are responsible for trailer removal and transportation. If you're unable to pick up the trailer yourself, we can recommend third-party shipping companies experienced in trailer transport. For local moves, you might consider renting a suitable tow vehicle. Always ensure your transport method is appropriate for the trailer's size and weight. Removal deadlines are specified in each listing, so plan accordingly to avoid any storage fees.
