Those lifts (and Quicklift) represent easily $1000 taken all together. Toe plates, camber gauge, and pyrometer probably another $500.
The spare nose is on Jens' trailer in Ohio right now, won't be home until after COTA. Always another pita to ship - Porter price is only about $350 IIRC but then there's another $150 freight charge unless you order more stuff at the same time. Good news is once it's back to Tempe we might find someone who can put it in the back of a pickup or sedan for you. I have a nephew making runs to La Jolla pretty frequently, and other relatives up to LA from there. Then again, if I can keep the car the nose wouldn't be easily for sale. The other stuff you mention will.
That means if you come up with another bargain $1600 - $2000 more you will have in addition a trailer set up with a Bulldog hitch, tie downs specifically for a Crossle' (and with holes drilled for an optional motorcycle stand I'll toss in), the shelves with LOTS of little bits, PitPal Deluxe Door Cabinet, not all of my extensive Mk9 gears but a nice starter selection in a plastic CogHouse case (unfortunately no longer available from Taylor), one-man loading winch, portable 120V A/C with external duct and curtain to contain the cold in the front half of the trailer, 12V lighting, EZ-UP, table, fuel jugs, water jugs for EZ-UP weights, ramps, 4-wheel electric breakaway brake required for California. Generic external tow vehicle mirror extensions. Backup camera and guides in case you have an older tow vehicle that needs such things. 4-wheel TPMS, could be expanded for improved data on tow vehicle as well. Oh, and a rocking one-tire wedge for double axles that lets you change the other tire without a jack - saved my bones on a freeway offramp a couple of years ago. Some of these things could be negotiated out of the package for small discounts.
I know I'm suggesting you flake out on your Scottsdale trailer deal, but he might just understand. If by chance he's selling a small uncovered trailer you can get my upgrade and I'd definitely think hard about any vaguely reasonable price for his as still a huge simplification for me. Talk to him?
