Hello all, I am looking at buying a used trailer (very used) its quite old, a 1989. I am only concerned about one issue, it is an aluminum trailer and the skin seems to be sagging on it. Is this a major issue? Is it fixable?

The "sagging" skin could be hiding a serious structural problem. If you do not have a knowledgeable person who can examine it for you, and determine its suitability, I would walk away and look for others. Most skins were attached with rivets during that time span, only later changing to adhesives and tapes. I would be very cautious of this trailer's structural integrity.
