- GrandpaKipExplorer IIAny competent fiberglass repair guy could fix the cracks. Paint would be the biggest factor and you seem to have that covered.
Can’t imagine it would cost over a grand, as long as there is no structural damage.
You will also have a salvage title which can affect resale, trade in, etc.
Only you can determine if it’s worth it. The price would have to be pretty phenomenal for me to take it. - rfporzioExplorerJust move on!! Plenty of fish in the sea.

- SidecarFlipExplorer IIIStorm damage? Now I'm wondering if maybe the 'storm' blew it over on it's side or twisted it in some way. Filon is brittle and the only way for it to crack like that is if it was stressed.
Problem is, it really cannot be repaired without panel replacement unless you can get it for a rock bottom price and just cabbage up the cracks and call it goo. Will be ugly but workable (if the price is low enough). - Adrian2DoorExplorer

That may be a "new' trailer but it is also a damaged trailer. I think that there is something wrong to have that many cracks in the sides. Maybe the frame is screwed up and putting tension on the side panels. I personally would not buy it.
I agree with this! This trailer is new??
The trailer is a 2018 but has a salvage title do to storm damage. - Adrian2DoorExplorer

Ya it’s on the auction listed as salvage. According to the auction the damage is caused by storm damage. - jfkmkExplorer

Don't have a price but repair and paint will be $$$$. And then new problems could appear.
Would the repair be more than $6000. And my dad paints so I’m not worried about the painting price.
