And it's bonnet (hood for USA speakers) has some minor paint chips and the estimate was 500USD to bring it back to shiny condition. Since it was a few years old I opted for some do it myself touch up paint in a few spots and after a fresh wax I find it acceptable for a not absolutely new car.
You may differ on this view.

Hey there,
Quick question regarding some damage I've seen on a car. Looking at buying a 2014 BMW 2 series, found the perfect one yesterday. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed a number of dents/impressions on the front of the bonnet. They're but not particular deep, 5/6 circulated in an area, and it hasn't affected the paintwork.
I've had a quote to repair for £825, which still makes the car cheaper than I'd pay elsewhere. However, when spending this amount of money, I want to be sure that I'm not buying into something that could come with a whole host of other issues.
Does anyone have any advice/pointers? I have some pictures but it doesn't seem I can upload them here.
Thanks in advance,
George
