How picky are you with your car?

Most of the time they will fix the issues before delivery if you ask them to and put it on the contract.

Sadly cars that are driven daily just cannot be kept mint, my FG XR6 I just traded did not have 1 single scratch or dint on it, but it had several stone chips and scrapes under the front bar (simply because I used it everyday).

Theres only so much you can do to keep a car like brand new, they eventually do get the odd nock / dint / scratch.

Exactly. To take it a step further, if I was looking at a car that is 3 years old with 50k on the clock and it was spotless, absolutely mint, I would be suspect as hell about its history. For example any FPV that has k's on the clock and does not have the slightest scrape mark under the front bar has had the front bar repainted for some reason.
