I think we need to be careful about what is and isn't legally applicable as far as what a dealer must disclose as damage to any given vehicle. Various State/Provincial laws apply to what is called "disclosure."
In many cases, it is based on a percentage of the value of a given vehicle. If it is under that percentage (i.e. 10%, 20% ... or what ever the law defines) then the dealer doesn't have to disclose anything.
It will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Minor scrapes or dents that are easily repairable, are really not something about which I would get concerned. It is when you exceed a certain threshold level as defined by various consumer protection laws that I would take pause at a given purchase.
THere was an article in this weekends paper about an inidividual who had taken delivery of a vehicle and found what amounted to a barely noticable scratch on the bumper. (Something which a professional detailer or paint person could easily fix. They were threatening to sue the dealer even though he acknowledged the fact that he missed the scratch at the time of accepting delivery of the car.
Legal threats run wild! - See the ads on late night cable! LOL
