[QUOTE="Franz, post: 12135969, member: 138606"] Dealers are constantly touching-up or re-painting bumpers for scratches due to lot or transport damage. They are also not required to disclose this re-paint unless it reaches a certain percentage of the car's value. I will never forget one time when I was at a local Mercedes dealer (I used to do business with their body shop) and they were repairing a scratch on a brand new Maybach that had just arrived. Can you imagine dropping $400K on a new ultra exotic and learning that it had been re-painted at the dealer?? I bought a new Porsche Cayenne S back in 2005 and a tech scratched the LR door with a service cart right before I took delivery. It was minor but I had to bring it back a week later so they could send it in to the body shop and have the door repainted. I wasn't happy, but got a great deal on it so I took it anyway. Not saying that this is what happened on this Cobra, but bumper damage is one of the most common items requiring repair at a dealership. :dw: [/QUOTE]
