I found a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe at a dealership in Al Quoz that seems really well maintained overall, the interior is spotless and the engine sounds smooth when idling. There’s a decent sized scratch on the rear bumper that goes down to the plastic and the dealer said it’s just cosmetic and they’ll even touch it up for me before delivery if I want. I’m not usually one to worry about little scratches but something about the way he brushed it off so quickly made me wonder if there might be more underneath that I can’t see. I asked if the car had ever been in any accident and he said no, just normal wear and tear from parking in the city. I’ve been looking at the car for a few days now and I’m trying to decide if I’m overthinking this or if I should take the extra step to get someone to look at it properly before I commit. The price is fair and the car drives well but I keep thinking about all those threads I’ve read where people bought cars that looked great on the surface only to find out later they had been repaired poorly. I found this site https://prepurchasecarinspection.ae/ that specifically mentions checking for previous accident repairs and paintwork, which feels like exactly what I need to either put my mind at ease or confirm my suspicions. Has anyone else bought a car with minor cosmetic damage that turned out to be hiding something worse, or am I being too cautious about a simple scratch?
