You are the customer. You call the tune.
My other option would be to order a new 2016 but I don't feeling like waiting a few months. Their current inventory on the lot is pretty much down to 2-3 BRZs that are amazingly priced. But, they might or might not have been in hail storms. The one I am interested in just happens to have been in one.

I am also hesitant because the car has most likely had been disassembled in the interior, body panels like the trunk and hood removed to have the PDR done, which concerns me. I have spoken to their staff and there is not much they can tell me as far as the extent of what was actually repaired.

I agree with you on that. It is really difficult for me to purchase this sight unseen. However, the price seems to be in line given the circumstances.
