Anyone knowingly buy a car that had hail damage fixed?
I was all geared up to buy a car today. Found one I liked. I had to go back to work and asked sales person to send me all the details on the car.
1.5 yr lease return (unusual) Certified pre-owned And gave me the maintenance they have done. Two things jumped out at me. 4 new tires and balancing (only 15k miles, but who knows) Hail repair and also one side of car had window molding replaced!!!! I saw that and told the sales person I was gonna pass and hope they get another similar car in soon. He pressed me as to why and I said “hail damage”. He said he’d look into it and said it was minor (of course). He also said this major luxury brand would not certify pre-own it if damage was bad. Am I making a big deal about nothing? My concerns are 1.5 year lease return (seems odd). I was planning on getting Opti-Coat on whatever car I get. Was thinking maybe I could pay the installer to look it over for me and give his advice. He has really good reviews on paint prepping before the coating is applied. He is so busy though he might not be willing. I plan on keeping the car for a long time and love the idea of a near new car at 20% off. Thanks for your thoughts.
