What you state above implies you knew it needed work, or at the very least maintenance, when you bought it.
You rolled the dice and lost. Is that on you or the seller?
To win in court you would need to prove that the seller both knew of the defect and he/she did not disclose it.
I could have some sympathy if you had a failure in five miles. At 200 miles on a used trailer (and it sounds like you didn't grease the hubs), I would side with the seller.
Implied warranty on a Craigslist purchase? SMH.
I will stop here out of politeness.
