Perhaps these might be hail sales, not sure. I've had hail where I live but nothing that would cause damaging dents as ones the size of golf or base balls.

I can, but I don't think it would help. Like I mentioned before, nothing beats checking it out in person. All I have right now are photos and a video (if I request one).

If it is going to nag at you for the rest of ownership and you are going to go over it with a magnifying glass every day to see if cracks have developed then don't do it. it will haunt you and before long you will start to hate the car and find that every little issue will be magnified in your mind.

I am a very OCD person, not to mention, add some paranoia in the mix. Even if I got the car for a really good price, it would kill me inside every time I would drive the car knowing the damage and repairs that were done. If something like a hail storm happened while I owned the car, that I understand. But for buying a new car that had damage repaired not under my ownership, I am very uneasy about it. So that is why I am seeing if anyone on this forum actually purchased one of these BRZs and if they had any issues with them since purchase.
