Buyer Beware - Boxster S in Ft. Worth

[thstone]

I have no issue with a well executed re-spray to repair cosmetic damage but the seller should have disclosed that info. Why? Because later when it shows up on a PPI, the buyer thinks that the seller is trying to hide something; and worse, the buyer then wonders what else might not have been disclosed.

But isn't that the point of the PPI? To figure out everything that is wrong with the car? A proper PPI answers those questions of what else is the seller hiding.

... or sometimes issues he/she didn't even know about to be completely fair.
But I agree that if the seller knew that the car or one side was repainted, it should have been disclosed. No one likes to have a bad taste left in the mouth... mostly

Dealers repaint areas damaged during shipping on new cars, has anyone ever had a dealer disclose this?
