[drivingpairs] finding a carriage to purchase



I have considered runny an ad in my driving club newsletters because folks
often have "stuff" they just need a nudge to sell.  The draw back is that as
I discovered when purchasing a used harness that even the most well
respected and knowledgeable people often are unrealistic about the age and
condition of there equipment! 

A dealer is obviously the most likely source.  Plus, most dealers want to
maintain a good reputation.  Purchasing new is the "easiest" because of
selection and warranty.  Purchasing used from a dealer is less expensive but
the product has a much more limited warranty.  Purchasing from an individual
can be the greatest or worse decision.   Yuck.  What is a girl to do??

Thanks for all the help!  The info on turning is so important.  With this
vehicle I have "beauty" and an incredible turning radius.  I would find it
difficult (and dangerous) to go to a vehicle with less turning radius (since
I have been spoiled and didn't know any better).  

I know of a marathon vehicle that may come up for sale.  The vehicle is at
least 9 years old, can be used single or with a pair.  The owner isn't sure
its value and neither do I.

How does one determine fair market value for something like this and yep a
mechanic is s great idea too. 


(p.s.  Thank you for the offer to visit Chapter One Farms, it is near enough
and I have it on my list of "Wants")
