I agree that avoiding the car with a bad repaint is prudent.

But to expect him to come down 6K is a bit extreme. You could probably (and I'm just guessing) have to whole car resprayed by your favorite body shop for less.

They will likely find a buyer that either a) won't know the difference and or b) won't have anyone with them that notices the difference. So I doubt they would move that much. But I'd work him a little more and see how far they go.

Also, "Damaged and repainted" means what? Paint damage? Scratched up? or dents and more major damage you can't see? Did it require body work or just paint?
