Would you buy a car with these paint flaws or it it normal?
Thanks
I don't think there is a "normal" when buying used cars. Different owner's take care of their cars well and some don't. Just have the check over the car and see if it is worth it to you to fix the various faults. Every car will have it's own particular issues.
