Steel prices have trailer manufacturers' raising prices.
Most of our trailer manufactures' have raised prices between 6-30% since December. It is hard to just buy the steel for a car hauler for $1000. Add axles 3.5k w/ electric brakes ($350ea) plus a wood deck ($250) and it is tough to even find a car hauler for $1800.
The used market is very hot right now and used and consignment trailers are on our lot less than a week.

It will cost you more than $100 to make removable fenders later.
As long as they are well made opt for the extra $100.
Make sure the removable fenders are strong enough to stand on as well as removable with pins or bolts the same size as your lug nuts so you don't have to carry around extra tools.
