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 be getting it from an insurance auction so yes it would be a salvage or totaled title. Didn't think about the insurance part of it. I won't be able to inspect it and I will have to travel to get it. But it seems that the savings are incredible. I am very tempted by this opportunity. Copart is one of the sites I am looking at.
Copart should list if it's salvage or totaled/parts only... BIG difference as it's almost impossible to ever get a tag for a parts only title. Even with a salvage title you cannot legally pull it home... no tag but I have with a tag from another trailer...:W :W :W
Not sure I'd buy without inspecting as the 10 pictures will not show all of the damage inside if the vent covers are broken and it's been sitting outside for months.
PM me with the Copart item number or year/make/location and I'll look at the pictures for you as I've bought several and yes one from pictures only but it was a Airstream.
