Purchase a hail damaged rig?
I may have the opportunity to purchase a hail damaged trailer considerably cheaper than a new or used would be. Has anyone ever bought a hail damaged trailer? Thoughts on such a choice?

I would consider it. But look closely for signs of water damage. If windows or skylights were broken, there's a very good chance a lot of water got in.
If it's more from a lot of pea-sized hail, I would consider it.
A friend of mine got caught in a hailstorm in Montana a couple of years ago. One entire side of the trailer (the upwind side) was covered in tiny dimples. It was totally cosmetic, but a significant repair cost. If you don't care about that type of damage, then go for it.
