I have been in the car business for 30 years...I have seen new cars come to our dealership needing repairs either from poor factory finish to transportation damage. I witness customers come in to buy a used 2-3 year old car and go completely bonkers if it had a scratch repaired. Maybe I am callused to it as I am in the business but guys fact is a vehicle with being USED is probable at some point to receive SOME damage. A new vehicle less likely than a 5 year old one....HOWEVER, take a 40 year old one... LIKELY! at some point.

So why do people get so skiddish on repairs if they have them inspected and are correctly done? I mean MOST of these ac have had some sort of incident at some point. With that said I am posting a simple two question poll. Would you purchase?
